I use leveraged and inverse funds to enhance and hedge my portfolio of investments. These leveraged and inverse funds are a limited, but important part of my investment and investors like me should be allowed to use them regardless of their net worth. I understand the risks of these investments and should have the ability to use them.
Investing in stocks, real estate and any other legally available forms should not be restricted to retail investors only. The individual should be restricting his/her own according to his risk and benefit. If the government limits the access to leveraged and inverse funds to only the retail investors, it creates an unfair field,
I routinely hold and trade leveraged ETFs and I know what my risk tolerance and objectives are for these investments. I do not see any need to add additional layers of rules or regulations to my trading strategy. Please do not impose additional requirements that will make supporting my family more difficult.
Leveraged funds are better than buying stocks on margin. I understand the risks and shouldn't be punished. Additionally, having leveraged funds acts as a hedge against some trades. If you want to police the market, ban options trading which is far more intricate and can empty an account in hours.
I am an individual investor with 20 years experience, I do not want my investing choices limited by the regulations. I use inverse and leveraged funds OFTEN to meet my investment goals and objectives. I understand the risk and proceed accordingly. Please do NOT take this valuable strategy away from me.
I believe I should be able to choose investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to everyone. I shouldn't have to go through special processes to invest in public securities. I understand leveraged and inverse funds and I consider the risks each time I elect to add these funds to my individual portfolio.
I oppose the proposed rule. The leveraged and inverse funds are a very important part of my personal portfolio, which provide a means for me to hedge against other long term holdings and control overall portfolio risks. My personal investments will be negatively affected if restrictions are imposed on those instruments.
I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST 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'm capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me.
As an adult, I am fully capable and 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.
As an American I should have the opportunity to take risks on my own accord to succeed, that is the American Dream after all.
Now more than ever people are expected to manage their own finances and financial planning. Taking away any free market options is ludicrous. Anyone can research leveraged and inverse funds and choose whether or not to take the risk of investing in them. Do not impose restrictions on the free market.
