I have been personally using leveraged and inverse ETFs in my personal investing portfolio. I feel confident that I can understand or learn how these vehicles work. I do not believe that regular citizens of this country should be legally blocked from using these tools based on official/regulated tests or levels of net worth.
Comments: If an investor is savvy enough to understand complex products let them invest. Are you going to take a test of investors to confirm that? You do not check the competence of our elderly supreme court justices or congressmen or senators or President who make decisions affecting millions but you want to do this?!!!!
Dear regulators, 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. I am
capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds
and their risks. I do not
need these measures imposed on me. Thanks! Shankang Qu
I strongly recommend that you do Not interfere with my right to choose which investments are right for me and my family. Public investments should be just that... Public!
I shouldn't have to go through any special test or procedure in order to choose my investments.
As always, I remain an informed and consistent voter,
Investors should not have to pass tests and we should be able to approve our own strategies. Limiting our ability to invest in leveraged and inverse funds just gives wealthy people and companies the ability to manipulate the market without giving individuals the right and ability to protect themselves from their schemes.
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest in public investments. I, not regulators, should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities including cryptocurrency funds such as BITO.
I 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. Explain that you are capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. Tell regulators you do not need these measures imposed on you.
I am aware of the risks involved in leveraged and inverse funds. I use them to hedge my portfolio, not as my primary investment vehicle. I do not think I should need to take a test, or have a certain amount of assets to invest in these funds. The funds should be available to all investors. Existing disclosures are sufficient.
I should be able to invest in any public company I choose. I certainly dont want the government telling me what I can invest in, or have to be tested to see if my understanding of leveraged and inverse funds. It is imperative to hedge your investments so when the market crashes again I wont be totally broke.
This is not right. I should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for me and my family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public,
not just the privileged. 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.
