I don't think regulators should be telling me what public investments I can and cannot invest in. I have done well investing in leveraged funds. They should be readily available to everyone, not just the wealthy and connected people. It is a matter of having a level playing field for everyone and should not be restricted (tests, permissions, etc.) unless those same restrictions are placed on
It is nakedly clear that the only group you stand to protect is the establishment who have a vested interest in the traditional financial markets going up and to the right indefinitely. However, as the government inflates away the value of our savings the only people who stand to gain from impending crashes are the already wealthy. Your arbitrary barriers are clearly designed to favor the wealthy
I am new to retail investing/trading but what I’ve witness with GME and AMC really opened my eyes to how corrupt and fixed the markets are. The mainstream media I used previously to help make decisions, has been 100% controlled to influence retail investors in a pure evil way. This is about as easy as it gets to see the manipulation. This manipulation is throughout the entire process with naked
Limiting investment options is clipping the wings of the myself, an average investor, and many others, allowing those who are already the elite to profit off of a public market that was designed for the benefit of everyone. Leveraged and inverse funds allow every day investors such as myself to take calculated risk based on their investment plan. Restrictions and additional hurdles to jump
I have been investing for myself for many years now, and I believe it is MY RESPONSIBILITY to understand the risks of investing. Let's be honest here - anyone who invests or even paper trades knows they can lose money, it's the first rule learned. Please stop trying to pretend you are acting on our best interests by restricting our access to important tools needed to manage risk
I believe I should have the right to trade equities as I see fit. If I lose money so be it that was my choice and I am responsible for my choices and their outcomes. However, I do not believe that someone has the right to determine what is in my best interest and restrict said trading on my behalf. I have a degree in economics and have the skills required to make those choices myself. If I were
I wholeheartedly disagree with any regulations that restrict my right to purchase leveraged investments. As a licensed CPA, with a Bachelors and Masters degree, working in a corporate finance department, I find it outlandish to propose such a policy that will limit the access of public investments to others due to the risk entailed (which is disclosed by brokers) or due to ones net worth. Net
I'm an ordinary person and I routinely use leveraged and and inverse ETFs to take advantage of special situations at a minimum of risk.
TQQQ, for example, allowed me to gain exposure to the tech market during the COVID-19 bust with only a small fraction of the capital commitment that it would have otherwise taken. TBT enabled me to hedge against interest rate rises without having to
Id like to offer that further restrictions or changes to what qualifies an investor to use leveraged and or inverse products are not needed and can cause damage to the portfolio of investors beyond the governments tools that already cause damage, add unneeded complexity and detriment to retail investors. It is disengenuine and presumptive to allow the fed and various lending facilities to manage
