I am a CFA charter holder and I believe it is every investors right to freely access the entirety of the public securities markets without arbitrary restrictions. Please do not ban leveraged ETFs. They can be a great risk management tool for those who use responsibly.
Please do not limit or restrict my rights to invest in public securities. Such investments should be available to all and not limited to those privileged by regulation. All investments have risk and transparency, information and education are preferred over regulations restricting or eliminating individual rights.
Of course it is important that investor have access to all the information and risks associated to an investment and the marketing of Investment vehicles must be strictly regulated to ensure that people are not incorrectly enticed into inappropriate investments. But the right to chose what investments are right for oneself is critical and must be protected.
The government should not restrict trades on any leveraged funds including Pro shares. They should be traded like any mutual funds or ETFs to be fair. I do not believe that the risk from any leveraged funds are more riskier than mutual funds or ETFs.
I as a investor should be able to choose whichever stocks or funds I see fit. I research my investments and understand the risks. I do not believe passing a test before I invest is unfair and don not need anyone to hold my hand when coming to my portfolio.
This would limit my ability to invest in funds that have been extremely profitable and successful for me. Please do not make it harder for normal people like me to invest in profitable investments! We understand the risk, don't treat us like children.
All investments should not be regulated. If an individual decides to take a risk they should do so at their own discretion. Leverage is used in many other derivative assets like FX, futures, real estate, and options. Why should equity leverage be any different.
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 am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me.
I am capable of making my own choices and taking my own risks if I choose ,taking away crypto to the general public is just another for of control and keeping the poor poor. Just tax crypto earnings but let anyone who wants to ,invest
Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the wealthy. I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me, not regulators. I understand the risks involved in investing in leveraged and inverse funds and use them as a hedge against other investments in my portfolio.
