I am 74 years old and have the majority of my assets under mgt. with two different styled advisors. I have invested in Pro Shares Short S & P 500 ETF for two small accounts (which I oversee) in a very limited and disciplined approach to offset the economic problems caused by the current administration in Washington. I understand the risk, but given the current market conditions,
I have been trading 3x leveraged and inverse ETF's for many years because it allows me to go long or short without having to open a margin account. It's no different than trading any unleveraged stock, as long as you just divide your investment dollars by 2 or 3 depending on the leverage multiple. Please don't add any restrictions. It works great the way it is, and it allows people
The ability to invest in leveraged securities as part of a well balanced portfolio is needed. To restrict this to retail investors is absurd. I should be able to invest in what I want to invest in as a right!
I use leveraged equities to hedge investments for protections. And it has been helpful to offset volatility in the market. I dont have millions to invest but when I look for products
I oppose proposed restrictions to inverse and leveraged ETFS. The reason for my opposition is that they are useful tools for hedging and as well for magnified short term gains. If there is a particular sector, underlying commodity, or index that I want exposure to, these products help me meet my objectives and help me formulate strategies to meet the objectives i have laid out for myself. I
Comments: As a Financial advisor and investor of 32+ years, I strongly believe having the ability to purchase 1x inverse ETF's is a valuable short term hedging tool. I am not a fan of the leveraged ETF's as they can create a lot of damage if used improperly. Also the tracking error over time is very problematic. With that said, knowledgeable investors should have access to
Hello, I have been investing in leveraged inverse funds for as long as they have been around. I fully understand the risks and use them only as very short term hedges. They have been a very important tool in enabling me to dampen volatility of my returns over the years, and as a result I have achieved a very respectable Sharpe ratio.
Please do not make me jump through hoops to use them.
Thanks
I use funds like FAZ, SDS, and SQQQ as portfolio insurance to mitigate the wild market gyrations we have witnessed in 2008/2009, 2020, and even right now(?). Using funds like these I can achieve strong upsides in a down market while my losses are limited to what I have invested. Instead, regulate the program selling, the short selling, the futures market where I could lose far more than my
I find the fact that regulators have decided to not only limit my (and most peoples) access to the funds that we wish to invest our savings in, but the fact that regulators believe that THEY can limit when and how we do trade, much like the Robinhood fiasco. I oppose this useless regulation when time and government effort could be better spent regulating the markets, brokers, and the corporations
Preventing average retail investors like myself from leverge and inverse equities causes both great harm and disadvantage. Prevent the smaller players in the market from maximizing profits and hedging to balance out losses. Doing so would force greater risk trades by leaving investors such as myself with dangerous decisions such as shorting equities which can easily cause greater losses than
Amc is being manipulated by ftds, dark pool trading, bond melting , being on the threshold lost from these illegal moves made by hedge funds (citadel). SSR has been issued multiple times to amc in the last month but continually the interest continues to rise and the short position continues to not be covered. Please look into this unbiased.
