I want the access to be able invest in leveraged and inverse funds. I understand the risks and dont want take a test to have the access to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. Inverse funds helps me protect my net worth and savings since its hedge against market drops.
For me leveraged funds funds are a small part of a well thought out Pro-folio I have put together myself.
Im not some super rich person nor did I have to take a test!
This is a right all should have in a free market environment! It should stay the way it is!
I am expressing my opinion of opposition of adding regulation to my ability to buy leveraged and inverse funds. I understand the risks involved and don't feel that taking a test, for example, is necessary. It is just bureaucracy that isn't necessarily going to help with me be less foolish with losing my money, or not.
Restricting opportunities for retail investors is not going to help them make better investment decisions or grow wealth. It will only serve to increase the wealth inequality in the U.S. Having investors test in order to trade certain ETPs is an unrealistic burden on investors and a waste of tax payer money to facilitate.
I wish to choose the public investments I invest in myself. There doesn't need be testing to purchase these investments as I fully understand leveraged and inverse funds. I use the ProShares UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury (TBT) to hedge against rising interest rates. Thank goodness this investment is available to the general public!
I, shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities.
I , not regulators should be able to choose
the public investments that are right for you and your family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public,
not just the privileged.
I agree with these: Pass a regulator-imposed test of your specialized investment knowledge Get special approval from your broker Attest to reading certain materials I don't agree with these: Demonstrate a high net worth Go through cooling off periods during which you cant invest
I should be allowed to invest in any publicly traded funds without passing any test. Leverage funds enhanced returns in a bull market and inverse funds help protect my investments in a bear market. Government has too much power and are not smarter than the rest of us.
You shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. We are perfectly capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. Don't limit our free options.
Every person should be able to choose the kind of investments that he considers right for him and his family. You shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds.
