Since savings accounts are, for all intents and purposes, gone or making an amount of interest smaller than inflation in a good year, I should have every right to pursue investments that interest me even if my starting capital is a small amount. It's ludicrous to tell me I can't invest because I'm not rich enough. Public securities are just that . . . . public.
Dear Regulator: Leveraged and inverse funds are important hedges for me. Thanks to them my capital reached nearly its highest point in ten years. I've learned how to use them, and I know what I'm doing, so please leave my investments alone. Thank you. By the way it sounds like you know what is coming and when and are preparing for it. Please share your information. Thanks.
I have been investing for 30+ years and I use both leveraged and inverse products in my investment processes. These products allow me to make an investment decision with a minimal amount of required capital. I can express an investment viewpoint with a third of my cash in the case of a levered ETF while keeping two-thirds of my cash in hand. Not sure why regulators would want to hurt the &
Thank you, Steve [Freedman] for that introduction. And thank you to Fordham's College of Business Administration for organizing this conference and inviting me to speak. I'd like to acknowledge a good friend, John Tognino, who I know is a highly valued member of the Fordham community.
I oppose any restrictions or limits to the use of leveraged and inverse funds. I use them as a small portion of my portfolios to regulate my risk exposure during difficult markets and make efficient use of my investment capital to enhance returns during good markets. I fully understand how leveraged and inverse funds work and their associated risks. I don't want regulations put in place to
I have used both inverse and leveraged funds several times over the years and met my objectives for both hedging and capital gains. In my opinion these funds provide excellent opportunities for smaller investors to participate in otherwise difficult to implement investment strategies. Adequate warnings and educational information are readily available in the fund prospectuses and the issuers
I oppose Rule 3290. It is serious over reach into both the professional and personal lives of Financial Advisors. As I read elsewhere, this is akin to not allowing Real Estate Agents and there families from owning a home. Do not pass this rule!

Regulations prevent small investors like myself from participating in venture capital and hedge funds, keeping more wealth in the hands of the wealthy.
UPRO's leveraged investment options are a critical component of my portfolio. Leveraged, they increase risk, but are also tied to market performance which diminishes single company/industry risk whereby I can choose the risk level I want
