I believe it’s important and critical in keeping track and reporting shorting of stocks. We must have a better understanding where all the stocks in circulation is going so we know when the price of a security is manipulated or not. There are so many holes in the system
Dear Sir or Madam
I have responsibly used leveraged and inverse funds for > 5 years. I know exactly what they are and how they function. I strongly resist having to go through any special process, test, special limitations or any restrictions on my ability to purchase, sell short or otherwise trade these securities.
It is my right to buy any stock I want and it is against the free market to limit my right! Also, I have lost since I bought my leveraged stock and I was not planning to sell it anytime soon. By selling my stock, you are forcing me to loose money in short term, which is not fair.
Apply the rules fairly. If you restrict leveraged and inverse funds apply them to ALL such funds, including bitcoin and other crypto.
If you raise the bar, inverse and leveraged do not need the same high bar as illiquid and opaque investments. The bar should be far short of those for accredited investors.
Hello
Everyone should have access to these products. If there's concerns about ignorance using them properly then make a short youtube video required to buy them.
They are useful instruments during volatility and should be embraced, not shunned.
Investors can make their own decisions. Keep Big government out of it.
I use leveraged and inverse ETFs as short term investments and its important to allow retail investors the same flexibility to trade in rising and falling markets as hedge funds. I understand the risk/reward profile of these and would be devastated if the option were taken away from me just because Im a retail investor.
I like to invest in leveraged ETFs. Im quite aware of the risks and potential long and short term fluctuations. And my desire to speculate with my money ought to be my choice.
Individual investors ought to be able to invest in any ETFs. Theyre much safer than some horrendous penny stocks.
I am against the passage of Proposed Rule #S7-24-15. I have found leveraged and inverse ETF's easy to understand and trade. The risk involved in high beta stocks can be higher. I prefer to trade long in lieu of short selling and puts. Inverse EFT's are my vehicle for being long but bearish.
I use leveraged and inverse ETF to hedge my positions in stocks and also to increase or decrease my long and short positions.I also take a position in the ETF when i want a position in a stock index and not an individual stock.These are easy and simple to understand and use and are a big help to small investors.Keep the system as it is working!.
Every share should be tracked with unique identifier. Every share should be located and lent only once. Every order should be delivered T+2 or fails mean 10x cost penalty. Every short position should be updated with FINRA daily.
