Comments: Good day. I am trading the leveraged ETFs after spending long time of learning about it. Now I am successfully trading these ETFs and making money. If these ETFs are no longer available to me for trade, that will be a great loss for me. If someone trading leveraged ETFs without knowing about the risks, its his/her responsibility. Why I should be punished for others action. I also see
Please let us invest in the leveraged investment products. This is only tool we have for small investors to hedge our investments with very small risk. Without this option, we would not be able to invest long term without safely hedging our long-term investments. These products are very handy when the risk is high like current period. Without these products, we may have to sell everything
This is an insane idea to add more regulation to Leverage ETFs. From a practical perspective, think of how much higher risk there is involved investing in a single stock like Tesla, Netflix, Nvidia vs. a leveraged ETF like SSO or UPRO that is allocated over hundreds of stocks. Would you ever consider limiting how much of a single stock an individual can own? Of course not, yet that is a far
Why is it that regulators want to take so much time taking away the ability for the average person to actually use a product that can let them risk and succeed toward more financial freedom and security. Products such as leveraged ETF's and Futures are complex but the individuals that invest know the risks and should have the same RIGHT to invest as any other fat cat on wall street that
I have spent 50 years perfecting my investment process both personally and for clients. I managed to survive and flourish through 8-9 bear markets. I accomplish this by using the most broadest of diversifications including being able to sell short markets. Inverse etfs including leveraged ones are important tools to have in the tool box to accomplish this. they are convenient and in many ways
What makes the American Financial Markets so exceptional is they are the most innovative markets on earth. What this means is anyone with sound knowledge about a product is willing to take the risk only because such products are available and they trust the provider of those products to do the right thing to closely mirror the benchmark index as much as possible. If you take out access to these
I am not a broker. (1) It is arrogant to tell me or any other person what investments he can make. I assess my own risk. You know nothing about my risk tolerance. (2) I know my limitations. I understand the basic concepts of leveraged and inverse funds. I let the managers of these funds do their job, just like any other mutual fund or stock. (3) My leveraged and inverse fund are a minor part of
I would call myself a KNOWLEDGEABLE investor. I use a SMALL PERCENTAGE of my investable funds to sometimes buy inverse (or bear market) funds that are leveraged, as these leveraged funds are often the only ones available. I current own shares of SCO (a 2X leveraged bear fund based on the price of oil). While these funds are certainly not for everyone, my ability to invest in them should NOT be
FINRA has assembled a list of resources that firms may use to manage their cybersecurity risk. These resources include: news and analysis; effective practices and guidance; and free diagnostic tools...
The proposed regulations are, quite frankly, stupid. Leverage is easy to understand, and while it carries risks, it would be exclusionary and harmful to prevent people from investing in a basic public security that happens to be leveraged. Such regulation is inconsistent with the risks and benefits I already accept as an adult. There is not regulation to prevent me from spending $20,000 of my own
