I getting tired of branches of government creating new ways of making life harder to get ahead. For retirement, short and long term investment and more. Every time something new trickles down to us common people to better ourselves you decide to regulate the hell of it. Making it harder to be able to do for myself and better protect my future outcome.
I have used leveraged and inverse funds many times as I grow my holdings, I don't want my ability to use these types of funds restricted. Please do not add another layer of regulation to the use of these funds. I would not be opposed to a better level of education of the risk of these funds, perhaps included in a simple and basic explanation for rookie investors to better understand the
Freedom and self-determination are essential to a better life for me and my family. I have spent much time and dollars to equip myself for trading options and futures to which I have been able to better my returns and hedge my accounts from future declines. Therefore, I say that I should have the freedom to engage with these instruments without interference to achieve my financial objectives.
Investors in todays world are much more aware of risks of investing than ever before in the past. Their risk appetite is not a simple measure of what instruments they could invest in as even equities, margin, options, etc allow them to take infinite risk. These regulations seem completely arbitrary and are not in touch with reality. A better and more productive step would be to provide better
I Oppose Restrictions To My Right to Invest in Complex Products, including Leveraged and Inverse funds! Any attempt to impose restrictions on the individuals right to buy these trading instruments gives the large trading firms an unfair advantage and makes the market unfair to us. Large firms have resources to use trading programs and other trading tools which individual investors do not have.
Less regs are better . Thanks .
Buyer Beware..... isn't that what it's all about? I've lost tons of money on supposedly reputable companies that were lying, and CEOs steal money all the time.... Ban the whole stock market if you must.... It gives no better odds than Las Vegas.... But don't think you know better than we do when you do nothing about the corporate malfeasance that goes on every day
The idea that everyday people need to be "protected" from themselves with further regulation and restrictive safeguards pertaining to "complex investment products" is absolute nonsense and contradicts the very principals of a free and open marketplace. Real problems like naked short selling and big money manipulation goes completely unchecked, yet the magnifying glass is on
We want better short sell reporting, end of day settlements, better short sell marking of shares, much stronger penalties or jail time for short sell violations, and market manipulation. Stop allowing retail investors to get ripped off and bullied. Things like dark pools, naked shorting, and general lack of transparency makes retail investors lose confidence in the market as a whole.
More choices are better than less choices.
