It is an investors right to freely access the entirety of the public investment market without unnecessary restrictions. America is still a free country and investors should never be stopped from investing by the government! NEVER!! I am a CPA and very capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds along with the risks! As such, I do not need these measures imposed on me.
To whom it may concern, It's undemocratic to make certain investments available only to the already wealthy. Leveraged investments should remain available to everyone, regardless of their net worth. And the same rules should apply equally, to everyone, all the time. It's not possible for regulators to care as much about my investments as I do, despite their best intentions. And nobody
Sirs, As a 35+ year registered Democrat I have come to realize my choice of parties has become nothing more than the nanny state writ large. My god, how stupid do you think people are, that they can't decide for themselves to invest/speculate/gamble in whatever they want, without YOU, unelected and overpaid officious elitists, telling us you're here to protect us from ourselves. I am
The use of leveraged and inverse funds allows investors like myself to easily create planned hedges on various sectors of the markets. Removing or hindering use of these funds would limit individuals planning to use these in their investment mix.
All federal institutions need to stay [REDACTED] out of the peoples business! If I choose to invest in leveraged ETF"S that my choice, MY money!
I think this is an impingement on my rights.
I am totally against any and all financial regulations that limit my ability to invest my own money as I see fit to best suit my own financial needs. Inverse funds in particular are extremely important as hedges against market downturns in severe corrections and/or bear markets. They enable investors to protect their assets and to even actually make money in down markets.
I am not an independently wealthy person. However, I understand the inherent risks and potential rewards of leveraged funds. I utilize them within my risk tolerance as a percentage of my whole portfolio. Do not change.
I often use leveraged and inverse funds to make directional trades in the stock market. I also use these types of funds to hedge other investments in my account. I understand the risks associated with them and hope that additional regulations will not be added that would limit my access to these types of funds.
This proposed rule is clearly an attempt by elites to keep the individual investor from taking advantage of their terrible public policy. If this investor were to see that the government was spending too much money and going to cause inflation, how are they to protect their portfolio or actually take advantage of this mismanagement. Betting against Treasuries, like using TBT, would provide that
