I am opposed to the proposed rules adding restrictions on purchases of leveraged investment products for individual investors. Individual investors should have the ability to choose what strategies to utilize and the equities they purchase. Investing with leveraged and inverse ETFs provides me the ability to take advantage of market movement and sector activity without risk of concentrating into
Comments: To: FINRA,
I have been an active trader for many years using Leveraged and Inverse (L&I) Funds fairly successfully. I understand their limitations and risks from various literature/warnings and from my own experience. I strongly suggest that investors and brokerage firms do not need additional regulations to effectively use L&I Funds. This would only make these
Ive been using leveraged funds e.g., UPRO for 14 years. Its a critical part of my trading strategy. I fully understand the risks, and in many ways, its less risky than borrowing money (i.e., margin account) to implement my trading strategy. My demonstrated success in using these funds as part of my trading strategy is testament to the fact that traders can learn through reading and experimenting
The ability for investors to invest in leveraged ETFs should not be altered in any way. ProShares and other firms do an excellent job informing investors of the inherent risks in leveraged ETFs. It is then up to the investor to make his/her own informed decision on whether he/she has the risk appetite to invest in such funds. In a free market democratic society, investing ones own earned funds
Stop treating adults like children, there's lots of risk in life and in a free country people should be free to choose what, where, when, and how to take those risks and when not to. I can go to the casino and throw it all on black if I want, nobody is trying to stop me from doing that, but apparently the SEC feels the need to prevent me from using valuable hedge options to protect my
Comments: I believe that limiting access to leveraged ETFs would be unfair to small traders. While leverage increases risk of loss, I think taking instruments like TQQQ away from the general public does more harm than good. You can try to prevent one person from losing money, but if that also severely handicaps someone who is actually seeing returns, I am not convinced that is a net good, all
Please consider that some investors utilize ETFs that are inversely related to financial instruments like stocks, indexes or bonds to short a market without the unlimited losses possible if shorting those instruments directly. These types of ETFs allow small investors to limit their risk and conveniently position themselves to benefit from declining markets.
Additionally, instruments that
I have been investing since 1982. I understand the risks [and benefits] in using leveraged and inverse funds [and puts and calls]. These risks are listed in the prospectus of each such mutual fund or ETF, which each investor receives. I use leveraged and inverse funds frequently. When the Fed raises rates, TBT is a great fund to use. I am up $7,800 with that since last December, and just
Dear Madam, Sir,
I strongly believe passing this law would hurt investors like me who are getting to the capital market with small investments and using inverse funds as a hedge strategy to beat the market volatility, even though it is a small portion of my overall portfolio.
I believe public investment should be available to all of the public without any requirement of passing a test. Anyone who
The ability to freely access leveraged and inverse investment products allows even the small investor both opportunity and protection from market volatility. True, there are some who use these freedoms unwisely, but that is true of anything. Existing safeguards and regulations, in my opinion, are sufficient for the majority of investors, and risk and foolish choices will never be squeezed from
