Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my
investment strategies. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am
capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds
and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on me!
I am a retiree, trying to make some extra bucks by investing part of my portfolio in leveraged ETF funds. The extra money helps me to meet the inflated food and energy costs. I am fully aware of the risks involved in these types of funds. I urge the Regulators not to shut investors like me from leveraged funds.
I am a dentist and experienced trader. I beleive firmly in my autonomy and select complex investments with their inherent risks. These leveraged funds are an essential compoonent of my well managed portfolio and my ability to meet my long term goals will be hobbled by regulations such as the ones proposed.
Please avoid regulating these asset classes in the manner proposed.
Do not restrict my ability to buy Proshare products.
These products have allowed me to retire earlier than planned because of Proshare product performance.
The ability to trade at anytime combined with single company potential returns without the single company risk are huge investment advantages that cannot be found with any other product.
These regulations on leveraged products have much less risk then directly shorting an issue or using leverage or futures. To prohibit them indicates that only the wealthiest have access to such vehicles. How about banning stock buybacks instead? They're used to keep the market crashing as dishonest insiders liquidate their fake companies and get rich.
As an individual investor, with limited capital at hand, leveraged ETFs provide great and easy opportunities for me to grow my investment. We understand the risk comes with it and simple stop loss/capital management strategy keeps me away from large capital loss. So I strongly expect these investment tools to be still available to us.
As a retail investor, I should be able to choose which investments I want to invest my money in (including leveraged and inverse funds), based on my own research and risk assessment. I don't see any need for additional tests and reading material Current prospectus and details are more than sufficient and no further checks and restrictions are needed.
Dear sir,
As an investor, we have the right to choose our own investments. Inverse ETFs allow the average investor to hedge the their downside risks in a falling market! Do not take this tool away from the average investor. Markets do not just up and we need investment opportunities in both bull and bear markets.
I have been trading Leveraged ETF's for several years and I know the risk. I have had stocks go to zero and ADR's disappear without notice. I feel that I have the right to trade what I want and it should not be regulated for certain individuals. Why is it OK for some and then not for others?
Please let me be the judge of what I want to trade
I have done my own research and am aware of the risks and benefits associated with leveraged ETFs. I currently own such investments so that I can leverage the midcap class and I plan on buying more on my own accord in the future. I will be less inclined to engage in these strategies if I am limited by a regulator with regards to which funds I can purchase.
