As a long time private investor, I have the right to decide on my investment strategies, not a regulator. Specifically, I recently invested in an inverse fund tailored for the current inflationary environment. I am well educated, and resent being forced to take a special test to be allowed to invest in ANY equity or debt instrument. A regulator controlled decision will damage my investment
I completely disagree with the new regulation. I reality most publicly traded stock investments are leveraged because the companies you invested in have debt on their balance sheets. The stock a person buys is in a subordinate position to the debt. This debt helps to boost yield. Just like a leveraged fund helps an investor increase yield. If Inverse funds are eliminated then the ability to short
I have been active investor for over 20 years and have successfully managed my SEP IRA and investment accounts during that time. I should not be required to take any tests to invest in any stocks including leveraged and inverse funds. In particular, leveraged and inverse funds allow me to take advantage opportunities using less capital as well as hedge risk. Please do not restrict and/or make it
If people are too stupid too understand what they are investing in that is their problem, not the employees of the U.S. tax payers. Regulation should be used only in instances where predatory practices are taking place and can be proven in court. Regulation should not be used because stupid people lost money in risky investments. If you mitigate the risk in this area those stupid people will
I oppose any restrictions on my freedom to invest in the stock market. This is a overreach by the SEC. I use leveraged funds in my day to day trading to increase returns minimize losses in down market situations. I have been using these type of funds since 2018. I should not have to go through any special processes, approvals or delays in trading. Its my money and the right to do as I wish with
Investors should be free to make their own decisions in where they would like to invest their money, short or long term, however risky it may be, so long as the fund is honest. Small caps or OTC is just as volatile and risky if not more. Options trading is way more risky than leveraged ETFs as well. You limit retail's tools to hedge or make large gains by stopping us from using these.
I have done very well using leveraged funds. If you merely buy low and sell high, you can make far more money. It is easier and simpler that using options, for a small fee I let the fund do that. I also like inverse funds, which provides market liquidity and it is similar to selling short, but again easier for me. Please let me decide what, where, and how to invest. Please let me and my family
This is America or use to be. Once I earn money and pay taxes on said money then who are you to tell me how to invest it? So playing the lotto is ok? Why is that ok but some investments are to complex for my small brain? Is it because the government sells the tickets? Please stop as your embarrassing yourselves. Please match wits with me. Who ever wrote this proposal should move to
Managing client portfolios, as well as my own, has been greatly improved with my access to inverse and leveraged ETFs provided by Direxion Funds and others. My clients are knowledgable enough and they are aware of the benefits and drawbacks of these types of investments - and the key role they play in a portfolio. Their features like hedging portfolios and enhancing risk-adjusted returns are
I am totally against SEC Proposal Rule #S7-24-15. I do not need the Politicians of Washington to protect me from my own decisions on how to invest my hard earned money. I certainly understand the risks in investing in a variety of assets as well as the potential benefits. If you want to focus on areas that are important to me:
1. Hold Chinese businesses to the same standards of review as U.S
