I regularly invest in leveraged funds (and less regularly, but not never, in inverse funds), and find it ludicrous that I might have to jump through a bunch of hoops to invest in publicly traded, already approved funds, and unacceptable that there might be periods during which I'm not allowed to invest. They're a small but important part of my overall investment strategy, and I
Please do not regulate levered ETFs more than already existing regulations. These would just cause higher expenses to existing brokers to ensure that the paperwork is accurate. I think the increase of options trading has added to market volatility not the levered ETFs. These provide a great way for active traders to express their investment views day to day. I believe current regulations are
I oppose the restrictions to my right to invest.It poses a severe threat towards market fairness. It's like locking people in home because of Flu. Retail traders or investors should be able to freely choose whatever products that fit their trading strategies. Finance is NOT only for the rich or the privileged. We know what leveraged funds are. Also, the liquidity will be severely
I use inverse funds to keep my savings from reducing because of inflation. In a time when stocks, bonds and cash are all loosing value, inverse funds are the easiest way to protect my savings. Put options are difficult to understand, and my brokerage will not let me short stocks directly.
If you want to discourage gambling tax trades and make casinos illegal.
I should be able to choose the public investments that are right to balance my portfolio. I am capable of understanding the risks of leveraged and inverse funds. I have been self directed trading for over 15 years and do not need restrictions on my right to invest in public investments. I limit my investment in leveraged and inverse funds to funds that I can afford to lose if they do not work
Leveraged and inverse ETFs are important to help an investor manage smoother results over time, protecting returns from other investments that vary cyclically over time. Such funds have been firmly established for years and are widely known throughout the investment community. For publicly traded funds, the public should not have to go through ad hoc, repeated exams by an agency.
Myself, not regulators should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for me. 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 have been trading leveraged funds for almost a decade, and rely on this actively for income. I use inverse funds to hedge and mitigate risk.
This is not freedom. We do not need the FINRA restricting what securities people can buy or sell. We saw issues with Gamestop stock for example. The playing field should be level. It's even possible that people use outside the box trades, such as covered calls on TQQQ due to the high volatility and holding over time, arguably a reasonable approach given enough timeline.
Leveraged index ETFs such as QLD and QID are an important part of my portfolio. Unlike regular stocks, one has to only track market level for buying and selling these funds and therefore do not need a lot of analysis before investing in them in order to achieve enhanced returns. I believe they should be freely available for trading to the investing public without unnecessary regulations. Thank
It poses a severe threat towards market fairness. It's like locking people in home because of Flu, but except the rich ones. All retail traders or investors should be able to freely choose whatever products that fit their trading strategies. Finance is NOT only for the rich or the privileged. We know what leveraged or inverse funds are. Also, the liquidity will be severely affected if passed
