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
I am very concerned new regulations will restrict or eliminate my ability to continue trading leveraged and inverse funds. I regularly use inverse funds as a small portion of my investment account to protect the account value when my buy and hold investments are impacted by unexpected world and national events which drive the market. The new regulations could be considered a TAKING (under 5th
Its should not be up to scrupulous Washington Bureaucrats to decide what I can and cant invest in. It should be up to to those who purchase and sell public securities. I have done research into every security that I have purchase and have kept prospectuses of each one. I have also read literature regarding investing.
This feels like a way for government to pick and choose which stocks are
Please do not restrict my rights and ability to invest in the stock market and stocks, exchange traded funds, currency funds etc. It seems that the regulators want to push out smaller investors like me. I am just an average person trying to build a portfolio only to provide funds for a decent, low to middle income retirement. Since banks pay next to to nothing in interest, what other way is there
I DEPEND on trading leveraged ETFs for my livelihood. In fact, it is my only source of income since I am disabled and unable to work a regular job. If you take away my ability to invest, you take away my ability to survive and earn the necessary income which I need to live. It's that simple. Please STOP trying to "fix" something that isn't broken. Leveraged
Sirs,
All investments involve risk. It is up to the individual to determine if an investment is suitable to his own wishes and bear the consequences of such a choice. The government and its agencies are only needed to assure fair trades take place, not qualify the individual investor.
