As a small individual investor I frequently use leveraged and/or inverse funds. I have for years and am aware of the additional risk involved in using such investment vehicles. Usually I use these funds to take advantage of short term market trends. To suggest that some special knowledge, other than reading the prospectus, is absurd. And implementing a net worth requirement will ultimately
I think none of the rule are being put in place are followed by hedge funds,payment for Oder flow should be ban, short selling should be cut to a minimum,the threshold list they’re not following,these people makes the market look bad we as retail investors see all the manipulation and are tried of it now what are the regulators are going to do about it.
There needs to be regulations and laws put in place to separate market makers from those able to make trades in the market. How is it a free market when retail investors clearly have a disadvantage compared to hedgefunds. People are losing hope in the market, especially because of what you’re allowing to happen with heavily shorted stocks such as AMC and GME.
Enforcement and transparency. There is no enforcement on the rules that are already in place. SSR is not enforced at all. T+0 settlement, ban payment for order flow, stop routing all our buys through dark pools (the dark pools are not being used as inteded), add real punishments for repeat offenders (jail time), force shorts to cover their synthetic shares.
For 10 years, I have held ProShares Ultra-pro short and Pro-short Funds. If you disallow investors from buying these funds, the value of these funds will evaporate since very few will be buying them. So I won't be able to sell them. I will lose everything. I appreciate your intentions and agree with them to some extent, but a sudden drastic refusal to let them be traded will severly
It is dangerous and irresponsible to even threaten removing leveraged ETFs from investors in the middle of a market correction. LETFs provide less risk than short term options trades and meme stocks, and can be fundamental to a balanced portfolio that outperforms the market. If such ridiculous action were to take place, Id hope it would occur during a period in which the market is at all time
I understand the leveraged and inverse investments that I choose to invest in. These ETFs make it possible for the little guy to avail themselves of investing strategies that would otherwise only be available to privileged individuals with resources I can only dream of. Recently I have been able to take advantage of rising interest rates through the use of treasury short ETFs. It's
I am very much opposed to restrictions on investing in leveraged and inverse funds. These funds are the average investor's only way to protect himself/herself in market downturns. An individual's potential losses in these funds are limited to the amount of the investment made as opposed to actual shorting of securities where losses can be far greater than the investment made
Please allow qualified investors to invest in the manner they see fit.
Stop babysitting adults and let each person be responsible for their actions.
Too many rules!
One thing you can do is to not allow people to short equities unless there is an uptick.
Some genius killed that rule, creating a lot of havoc in the market.
Take care of things that helps the market be stable, not blocking people
Comments: I love these products. I am seeing a lot of people that dont understand, or theyre trolling, or something may seem suspicious, but I am SIE certified and I only wish I had found these sooner. I traded in a eft that was fifteen percent down for the year, and corrected most of the damage in a couple days. I also remade gains from crypto losses. Personally I think options and short sales
