Leveraged ETF/ETN's are used as a short term balanced risk management strategy that should be available to all investors.
Primary uses are (1) offset a short term market index/asset class overbought/oversold condition without risking individual equity positions, (2) Reduce risk of owning an individual stock that could be subject to excessive price fluctuations, and (3) Balance a
Gentlemen, I have a masters degree in Engineering. I have lost many thousands of dollars in these transactions. I have also lost more in traditional stock and real estate investments as well as made some earnings. My suggestion is that you can not protect me from myself and this applies to others. I understand the good intentions. However please consider going lightly with qualifications and
I want all people to be protected from inverse products as I have found they have spikes that are impossible to recognize coming so the catch is no time to respond properly and a lot of money has gotten lost to others who somehow know to pull out at a peak thereby pumping and dumping all stock and crashing the market of inverse funds in gold or oil. I do not like donating money that way [REDACTED
Please do not restrict or remove weighted ETF's. I use this weighted ETF (LABU) when market sentiment has become extremely negative. It is a good hedge to recover losses in my core holdings. I feel it is better than a stock option because there is no time limit and there is diversification in the ETF. All I need is patience with the weighted etf. Please do not take this tool away
I have a college degree in Business Administration. I have been very successful in investing in stocks, leveraged and inverse ETF's. About 85% of my investments are in leveraged and inverse ETF's.

While I agree that some of these funds should be limited to qualified investors, restricting all of these will limit my ability as a middle-class investor to grow my wealth through the stock market.

Ive been leveraged and inverse funds such as TQQQ and SQQQ for many years. I am aware the risk associated with these funds. They are volatile but manageable. Some individual stocks are even more volatile than these funds.
I believe majority of individual investors know the risk they are taking when making investment decisions including investing in leveraged and inverse funds. I personally dont
I haven't read the material yet, but at first blush this is quite an overreach. Not everyone can win - yet those that lose run to elected officials & want a refund for their poor risk management. Day trading "rules" changed nothing but the amount that could be lost to a greater amount. Time would be well spent helping the gamblers buying 0 DTE puts &
I have a self directed IRA. The balance in my retirement fund investments has increased since january while the major stock indexes are down close to 20%. I have done this with leveraged and inverse etf funds. I am not a licensed investor but I did educate myself for months to prepare for the obvious upcoming government imposed economic trainwreck. If my retirement fund was in a 401k I would
I have a regular investment program that is long the market during part of every month and short during another part. It's been working fine for years. Being able to be in a short mutual fund or ETF does not "pick on" any particular stock. It just is a way to hedge other investments in case the market goes down. It is a more conservative way to invest that just
