Estute Regulators,
Existing controls for access and use of higher performance/risk instruments are designed to and do adequately protect the investor.
Through the brokerage/firm, the investor is required to review and agree to very clearly stated statements as to the risk that leveraged (or otherwise higher risk) instruments carry. Responsibility for the outome of poor investment decisions lies
This is about my choice to invest the way I want to.
I've been managing my own investments since 2005. I know what risks I can take.
I use leverage in my current investments. Margin trading, currencies, options, ETF's, etc.
I have a very good broker that acts like a filter when I make an investment. We discuss ideas, my investing rules and the risks in the investment before
I read with concern the notice from Ameritrade that there is pending regulation on my ability to self-direct my investments in my company's 401k plan into leverage ETF funds. For the life of me, I cannot think why this proposed restriction would be necessary. Self-directed investors are well aware of the risks involved with any sort of investment and should be free to take additional
FINRA,
I am opposed to the new regulations further restricting retail investors. As a retail investor it is my responsibility to manage my own risk and be aware of the stocks and securities in which I invest. I am a grown man and do not need you to act as my mother. The risk is my own and your regulations will just make it harder for investors like me to profit off of securities and stocks. So
I oppose the proposed rule regarding increased restrictions on trading certain funds / securities. I, and other members of the public, am capable of making investment decisions and can suitably analyze the benefits / drawbacks to various investments. Taking risks is a fundamental part of the human experience, and placing further limits on the kinds of people who can trade certain products will
PLEASE...Do not punish educated investors by enacting the severe regulations which you are proposing in regards to inverse and leveraged ETFs. I have used these very successfully for many years. They compose an integral part of my investment strategy primarily as a volatility nuetralizer and as a hedge against downside risk. To date, I've successfully avoided punishing 2022 loses-
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
