I am 72 and retired Wall Street for over 35 yrs. No one but me should determine what is suitable for me.
Your rules lose people money. Your 3 day trades in 5 days in these volatile markets guarantees losses except for the most nimble.
Please go on a long vacation allow brokerage firms to know their customers!
Inverse and leveraged funds are a valuable tool for an investor. Some brokerage firms have already refused to trade these in order to "protect the investor". I am a 76 year old retired teacher/mathematician/programmer. I have enough fixed income to retire comfortably. But I have lots of savings that can not earn a reasonable income in the current market and low interest rates. Over my
Comments:In a capitalst society such as ours, I see no reason to regulate leveraged & inverse ETF's. They are simpler than shorting stocks or using put's & calls. I have found that they correlate to their 1X base very close. Their usually is no limitations even in a retirement account. Please, please we don't need this senseless regualation. Thank you, Roger Smith
Leveraged investments have been the primary mechanism to achieving my personal retirement goals. Without them, and/or by adding barriers to restrict use of leverage investments, low net worth individuals may never have a chance to build any significant portfolio. It will hold them back and allow only the already rich to get richer.
These changes will be greatly appreciated. It is more than unfortunate knowing there have been companies which went out of business due to coordinated over shorting of their stocks. The enrichment of a few companies, much less individuals, at the expense of thousands of jobs and millions of retirements is abhorrent. I hope we see more changes to stabilize and unobfuscate the markets moving
Please stop cutting we the American people's right to provide for our retirement.
Social Security has been cut and we are taxed on it, too.
The current regime in the White House is doing everything to end our human Constitutioal rights at every turn. They are
trying to turn us into a Socialist country.
The measures being forced on us effect you too.
I an very opposed to any regulatory limits on my current abilities to participate in complex ETFs and investments.
I have been involved with these investments for many years and am familiar with their risks and do not need any extra regulations to guide me. Placing these limits will significantly impact my retirement planning and financial future.
Please desist from imposing them.
I depend on leveraged ETFs for my retirement. Without these returns, I would not be able to earn enough to support myself in the coming years. I understand well the risk associated with these funds and have educated myself well enough to trade them. I very much oppose any limitations placed on mobility to do so by regulators and feel such actions would be unfair and discriminatory.
I enjoy investing with leveraged and inverse ETF's and have found them as a compliment and beneficial asset to my portfolio. I would ask that retail investors (whatever level) be able to invest in these products. Freedom to invest in the products that best fit your needs and strategy are helpful for me as I save for retirement, down payment, and other savings goals. Thanks for your time
Imposing these new hurdles to accessing inverse and leveraged funds greatly reduces my ability to build aninvestment portfolio toward a healthy retirement and a nest egg so that I can build a family, speaking as a young person. As anyone familiar with the principle of life-cycle investing will tell you, investing aggressively as a young person is key to maximizing returns. Please reconsider these
