Please do not take away my ability to purchase 2x and 3x Proshare funds. I use them to increase my risk, but at the same time doing it across a broad range of securities (e.g. Russell 2000).
Anybody should be able to invest in what ever way they see fit. They know the risks and they know they need to research or find a competent money manager to help them. Its a gamble just like living.
Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies, and I am fully capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I should be able to choose, without regulation, the investments that are best for myself and my family.
As an informed investor, let me have the freedom to continue on to invest in leveraged and inverse products. Yes, investment is not without risk, but why should certain firms have more access than an individual investor?
Restricting access to leveraged investment vehicles is a mistake. People should have the right to choose how their hard earned money is invested. The public is capable of understanding risks and rewards associated with leveraged and inverse funds.
Investors should continue to have access to products that have existed for decades as there are not that many options to hedge portfolios. We need options to hedge against downside risk. Do not limit our options please.
I should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for me. Its my money and my risk.
Public investments should be available to all of the public,
not just the privileged. Everyone in America should have the opportunity.
Taking away this right does not all a true free market. There are numerous ways to trade that are higher risk such as weekly options and micro stocks, what is the difference? This limits what should be a true and free market.
Comments: I stand to object this proposal because these are good leveraged investment product for normal people to access. Although it expose certain risk, the government shouldn't take away citizens' right to access those products.
I use leveraged ETFs as part of my balanced portfolio. I understand and accept the risks, just as anyone investing in equities should. There is reason for regulators to interfere with my ability to shape my portfolio as I deem appropriate.
