Me- not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family.Public investments should be available to all public not just the priviledged. I shouldnt have to go through any special process like passing a test to invest in public securities. I am capable of making inverse and leveraged funds and their risk.
I disagree with the idea that these leveraged/inverse funds should be disallowed for purchase by individual investors. The risks are reasonably well-known and the information about them is available for anyone to read. The fund which I am invested in allows me to hedge my portfolio in a way that would not be possible without it. Please allow me to continue to trade these funds.
Hello 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 am more than capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me. Thank you, Jim
Stay out of individual investor decisions please. These are important tools for investors that are not high net worth for hedging and trading. Yes, go ahead and require people to read and understand how they work and the risk but do not restrict access. It's tough enough as it is to compete with wall st and high net worth investors.
Back off with the regulation already! We are already over regulated. I can choose my own investments that are right for me and my family. I am fully capable of understanding leveraged and inverse leveraged funds and their risks. These funds are important to my investment strategy and I use them as a limited part of my portfolio.
Limiting my ability to buy leveraged and inverse ETFs would impair my ability to hedge risks efficiently and dynamically. It would damage the risk-return ratio of my holdings and impair the liquidity of my portfolio. I am against this rule. Efficient portfolio management should not be restricted, for the well-being of investors and the market as a whole.
I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public not just the privileged. I should not have to pass a test to invest in public securities like leveraged and inverse funds. Leveraged and inverse funds are important for me to be able reduce risk in my investment portfolio.
These regulations would be taking a valuable tool away from investors. They would impinge on our ability to hedge our accounts against loss. We would need to become short sellers, which is much more risky and unavailable in retirement accounts. Your proposed rules would increase market risk.
It should be the responsibility of the individual investor to determine the risk of using these particular products. The notion that somehow some regulation can "save" investors from making bad investment decisions is an illusion. Investors should have the right to invest as they see fit without any intrusion by any third party, government or otherwise.
I oppose any effort to restrict my ability to invest in leveraged or inverse funds. There are already too many regulations restricting the ability of individual investors to fully participate in our economy. The opportunity for financial success should not be limited to the wealthy. FINRA should protect us all from fraud but NOT from reasonable risks.
