I use leveraged ETFs as a part of my portfolio. I have spent a lot of time understanding the behavior and increased volatility of these funds. I think it's important that I have access to the same securities as any privileged investors in order to have access to the same kinds of returns on my portfolio. I understand that different investments have different risks. I prefer the risks
I strongly oppose the proposed regulation of complex products that might include leveraged and inverse funds. The assumption that retail investors do not know what they are doing is flawed. The retail investor should be able to choose investments that are right for them and not the regulators. The investor shouldn't have to go through any course before getting an approval to trade in
I have little money to invest. That is why I use leveraged securities. I would like to make as much as I can with what little I have. To say I need to have a high net worth is ELITIST & RACIST! I should NOT need special approval from my Broker to trade a leveraged security. I know the risks involved! I am NOT ignorant! I know simple math. To put more obstacles in front of me to invest
Inverse funds allow me to take contrarian positions when I believe the market is behaving in unsustainable manners, not only preventing losses on my positions, but furthering my gains. Preventing household investors like me from choosing these funds limits the ability for me to choose the right strategies that I believe will pay off in the long term. Anyone is capable of reading the risks of
I've used leverage as part of a well-researched and highly-effective investment strategy for the past 14 years. This allows me to grow my investments - responsibly - much faster than would otherwise be possible without leverage. I should have the right to choose whatever investments make the most sense for me, and be expected to handle the consequences of any mistakes I make in their
As a Financial Advisor, we have a small portion of our practice that uses leveraged and inverse ETFs in our clients accounts. We fully understand the risks involved. We employ multiple analytics in our decision making process, and use an active trading system in an attempt to mitigate the risks. The long-term results can be quite substantial for our clients. We feel it would not be in our clients
I oppose any restrictions on my right to invest. Please do not revoke my right to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments must be available to ALL of the public, not just the privileged. Individual investors like me need the ability to use funds such as High Yield Bond Funds, Leveraged/Inverse Products, and Asset-Backed Securities to diversify and
By threatening the existence of this type of ETF/ETN via limitations you will create more losers than the number of investors you could possibly help. That is not your purpose; find something actually causing a problem - both sides of any of these trades exist and there should be less limitations for this type of fund rather than forcing me to use my margin account and/or options to replicate the
Hello,
I am an investor of 40+ years experience, and regularly use leveraged investment products in my investment strategy. In order to reduce my portfolio risk, I thoroughly studied the various aspects of these products before entering my first position, and am confident that I am capable of using these products without any manner of over sight, testing, or restriction.
I value the opportunity
I am writing regarding the proposed limitations on trading leveraged and inverse ETFs. I do not believe it is governments place to be involved in my investment strategies, other than ensuring that investment vehicles provide adequate and fair disclosures. This is already being done. In excess. I receive enough papers to heat my home every winter, all consisting of disclosures, warnings,
