I completely disagree with the new regulation. I reality most publicly traded stock investments are leveraged because the companies you invested in have debt on their balance sheets. The stock a person buys is in a subordinate position to the debt. This debt helps to boost yield. Just like a leveraged fund helps an investor increase yield. If Inverse funds are eliminated then the ability to short
Over the last couple of years, leveraged and inverse ETF became a trendmedously useful tool for hedging my overall investment portfolio. There are times where I just cannot send my core holdings, and inverse ETFs became a very useful tool for hedging, especially in IRA accounts. It is far easier to use and safer than Shorts and Options.
Without these inverse and leveraged ETFs, you will be
I agree that education into the operation and risks of more complex products should become a mandatory prerequisite to invest/trade in them, the other proposed changes are a step too far and I believe not required.
Perhaps a brief synopsis of a product the first time that it is being requested for execution for an account, is forced upon the executor to follow through some required reading. This
I am investing and trading for years now. I have spend plenty of money to learn all of this. I understand the products I use. Putting restrictions on what FINRA thinks are "complex" funds, will limit my ability to manage risk in a way that works for me. I do not need and I do not want the government to tell what I can or can not do with my money.
At the end of the day: if I
With over 40 years trading experience, inclusive of options, I utilize inverse ETFs as a means of insurance against unknown market events; typically limited to less than10% of total assets. These market tools are valid investments and like all tools in all disciples, when used correctly, enable individuals to complete tasks. Education NOT restriction should rule the day. We live in a free
I should 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. I should not be forced to go through a specific test to be able to trade any securities I want. As an individual I am capable of making my own decisions. Cryptocurrency strategy is important for my long term financial planning
Dear Sir/Madam, As an investor, I want to 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. If I cannot trade those funds (e.g. TQQQ, SQQQ, etc) as needed, I probably have to take on a lot of loss and make huge changes to my investment strategies which also impact significantly on my
Investors should be free to make their own decisions in where they would like to invest their money, short or long term, however risky it may be, so long as the fund is honest. Small caps or OTC is just as volatile and risky if not more. Options trading is way more risky than leveraged ETFs as well. You limit retail's tools to hedge or make large gains by stopping us from using these.
Hi there, Banning retail access to leveraged products unfairly advantages the richest people in our country. Leveraged broad market indices allow more opportunity for common investors to generate income. There are infinitely more speculative and risky investment choices that the common investor would choose if leveraged products are banned. There is no logical sense in banning a product to
So I have used leveraged and inverse ETFs for approximately 10 years as a way to channel my investing when I believe a certain segment of the market has been oversold/overbought. Further, I may use them to hedge my existing positions. I believe it's my right to choose these investments as I see fit without having to pass some artifical test. After all, the firms that I trade with have their
