I am writing in opposition to proposed restrictions regarding inverse etfs. I use these etfs as a convenient hedge against possible downsides in the markets. Please do not put restrictions in place that would require me to take a test or have a cooling off period before purchasing them.
It's on the diligence of the investor to know what they are investing in. If you believe buying and selling leveraged ETF's is too risky for investors what about regular stocks? Should retail investors take tests to see if they can trade public securities? The market is speculation, there is always risk.
I should have the right to choose public investments. Regulators do not need to impose any measures to test my knowledge of leveraged and inverse funds and the risks involved. I use these investments to protect me and to seek enhanced returns as a limited part of my overall investment portfolio.
Dear Regulators, I, not you, should choose whether I can invest in leveraged and inverse ETFs. additionally, I should not have to take and/or pass any tests to be able to invest in leveraged and inverse ETFs. I am fully aware of the risks associated with investing in leveraged and inverse ETFs.
You should not restrict access to me trading Leveraged or Inverse funds. I am currently in one of those and know the risks. You have no right to make me pass a test to trade these. These are public securities. We are already warned by our brokers that there is risk. That should be sufficient.
A retail investor such as myself require access to these types of investments to hedge against risk. During the 2022 downturn they have protected me to successfully hedge my accounts. To test knowledge or require accredited investor status reduces liquidity and advances the disparity between economic classes.
This is a violation of the free market principals. Risk assessment and tolerance is an INDIVIDUAL human characteristic, and therefore this approach will not work. Furthermore, I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds.
Hello, you need to fix your system asap. Naked shorting is way too easy and the fines are just ridiculously low. Remember: A fine that doesn't even cover the amount they gained and doesn't result into jail time is just a high bar entry check, nothing more... Dark pools are the shadiest crap I've ever seen in my whole life. What is fair about SOME folks being allowed to hide their
Please regulate the manipulation of our free market system. Companies should not be able to bypass rules set in place following 2008 or we risk another black swan event and lack of trust in our financial system.
Hello, I strongly oppose restrictions to my right to invest! I should not have to pass a regulator-imposed test of my investment knowledge, attest to reading special materials or get a special approval from my broker for investments that are right for me and my family.
