As a small individual investor I frequently use leveraged and/or inverse funds. I have for years and am aware of the additional risk involved in using such investment vehicles. Usually I use these funds to take advantage of short term market trends. To suggest that some special knowledge, other than reading the prospectus, is absurd. And implementing a net worth requirement will ultimately
For 10 years, I have held ProShares Ultra-pro short and Pro-short Funds. If you disallow investors from buying these funds, the value of these funds will evaporate since very few will be buying them. So I won't be able to sell them. I will lose everything. I appreciate your intentions and agree with them to some extent, but a sudden drastic refusal to let them be traded will severly
It is dangerous and irresponsible to even threaten removing leveraged ETFs from investors in the middle of a market correction. LETFs provide less risk than short term options trades and meme stocks, and can be fundamental to a balanced portfolio that outperforms the market. If such ridiculous action were to take place, Id hope it would occur during a period in which the market is at all time
I am a fully invested “Ape” as you call us , over here in the UK the widespread corruption in the markets is as plain to see as it is over there in the states. Yet nobody seems to have the [REDACTED] to tackle it . This Baked shorting and Dark pool trading is so illegal that is beggars belief & the time has come now !. Remember the whole world is watching and the integrity of the stock
I am very much opposed to restrictions on investing in leveraged and inverse funds. These funds are the average investor's only way to protect himself/herself in market downturns. An individual's potential losses in these funds are limited to the amount of the investment made as opposed to actual shorting of securities where losses can be far greater than the investment made
Please allow qualified investors to invest in the manner they see fit.
Stop babysitting adults and let each person be responsible for their actions.
Too many rules!
One thing you can do is to not allow people to short equities unless there is an uptick.
Some genius killed that rule, creating a lot of havoc in the market.
Take care of things that helps the market be stable, not blocking people
Without clear and concise data to all that participate the market will never be fair and always be in favor of the institution, if no changes are made so we all get the same data the same time, personally I will leave the market and not return until this happens there are way to Meany"cheaters", permission to use my shares to short should be clear and not hidden in the fine print. I
There isn’t ANY transparency within the market. Dark pools need to be GONE as they are being over used and abused.. SSR needs to be enforced much more strictly. FTDs need to be enforced without delay. And NAKED SHORTING is supposed to be illegal but is still being used only by hedge funds and market makers.. How is this a free market???!! The hedge funds leash is way too long. Nobody will trust
This puts the consumer at a disadvantage. Inverse and leveraged have their place for definite reasons such as hedging in order to limit or even gain on a potential loss. Or you have want to effectively want to increase ones exposure to a particular short term. IF people can trade options and warrants I don't understand why this area would not be treated differently after all these
Comments: I love these products. I am seeing a lot of people that dont understand, or theyre trolling, or something may seem suspicious, but I am SIE certified and I only wish I had found these sooner. I traded in a eft that was fifteen percent down for the year, and corrected most of the damage in a couple days. I also remade gains from crypto losses. Personally I think options and short sales
