I have been investing a long time and have bought individual stocks, bonds, ETFs. I have shorted the Market through ETFs. I realize the risks involved. Currently we are in a period where the major market indices are falling. Now is the perfect time to protect part of your portfolio with an ETF that shorts the market. It is like insurance on your home. The goal is to protect your investment. I
To Whom it May Concern, In a fair and open market there should be transparency and a level playing field for all investors. Right now, there is a massive deficit in access to information, trade speed, preferential terms and types of trades, and pay-to-play investing that heavily favors institutional investors over retail investors.
