I think if it's our money we should be able to invest it anyway we want to. Just like any other investment in stocks there's always a risk but that is our choice to do so.
To whome it concers.
Limiting publicly traded funds to only people regulators deem apropriate is an overstep. Traders are already aknowlging these funds are risky. But it should be the traders choice to risk those funds. Not regulators.
Leveraged and inverse funds are an important part of my investment strategy. I'm reluctant to be a short seller given the risk, however, with an inverse fund, I can still grow my portfolio in an overall downtrend.
We oppose restrictions to our right to invest. Personally we use leveraged/inverse funds to manage our portfolio risk during financial crisis. We want to maintain our current access to these funds.
I cant understand how this manipulations of our rights comes in times when freedom is at danger, I should be able to invest in any instrument I want, Im aware of my risk, I vehemently oppose this proposed regulation
I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds
and their risks.
Regulators should NOT 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.
Please refrain from from taking my ability to invest in the same funds as the wealthy. You can add disclaimers to warn people of the risk but the market should be free to all to invest in the funds they wish.
As long as there is sufficient disclosure of risks, government should make every investment vehicles and tools available to everyone, instead of limiting them. By claiming "protection of investors", you are overreaching and infringing upon individual freedom.
Comments: My comment is I study the markets daily and I have a MBA in Finance. I understand the risks of the leveraged and inverse ETFS. I trade the products as part of a comprehensive overall strategy on a short term trade basis.
I disagree with strong government oversize. I believe anyone that chooses to invest does so at their own risk and as such is responsible to procure the information or education necessary to do so. I believe government regulations of individual choice is wrong.
