I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Leveraged and inverse funds are in the public domain and should remain there. Any effort to restrict or hinder my access to use these funds would be unfair and viewed by me as an attempt to keep the benefits of these funds to others. I understand the risks of leveraged and inverse funds, as I do the risks of
I believe that everyone should have the option to trade whatever they desire on the market as long as they understand the risk toward the investment. Simply taking away the options to trade leverage stocks would be too much intervention from the central government. I believe restricting what stock or fund the common people are allowed to trade would violate the idea of a free market. It is
If people are too stupid too understand what they are investing in that is their problem, not the employees of the U.S. tax payers. Regulation should be used only in instances where predatory practices are taking place and can be proven in court. Regulation should not be used because stupid people lost money in risky investments. If you mitigate the risk in this area those stupid people will
Trading has recently become accessible to the public via apps in a way it has never been accessible in the past, and I believe that this broad access should continue to be available to all presently qualified people - for better or worse. The burden of responsibility ultimately falls on the individual to understand the risks of their actions and make decisions accordingly, whether it be in
I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in leveraged and inverse funds - funds that are already approved and trading, and which comprise a relatively small share of my portfolio. I understand the risks that are involved, and I have had to express my views on risk regarding investment strategies to my online broker to be able to trade in the first place. It would be a blow to market
I have been trading leveraged ETFs both long and inverse since 2008. I also read prospectus, SEC filings, etc, and understand the risks involved. I have not had any major losses due to leveraged ETFs, inverse or otherwise and pay close attention to any warnings my brokers provide on a regular basis about the risks involved.
The changes you are proposing are unfounded and are attempting to fix a
I object strongly to the proposed regulations that would restrict my ability to invest in inverse funds. I am fully aware of the risks associated with such funds, and invest in them to reduce the risks associated with "long" stock and bond funds. My investment in an inverse fund is only a small fraction of my net worth, but my ability to invest at the time of my choosing -- and
This proposed regulation is yet another encroachment on the rights of investors, all under the flawed premise that investors need more "protection" than already exists. The Fund industry does an outstanding job of clearly spelling out the risks with leveraged investments, and any so-called investor who doesn't educate themselves to those risks has NO ONE TO BLAME BUT THEMSELVES if
I strongly oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public investments. Just become someone isn't already a "high net worth individual" or doesn't have a high salary job, doesn't not automatically mean they are not intelligent enough to understand how investing works. Even more "complex" investing strategies can be learned and
