I have been investing in leveraged ETFs for over 8 years and fully understand the risks associated. I have traded both the long and short versions. I have both lost money and made money. I believe that all investors should have access and the ability to trade in these. The freedom to choose investments that could
help you achieve long-term financial security is extremely important.
I have in crypto space for a little over two years, with a little instruction, anyone can invest. Regulating it like real estate is very short sighted from a taxable income source for government, and it is up to individual to exercise choice of investments and risk vs return. In addition bureacracy does not teach the valuable lessons of experience in investments like success and failure.
To Whom It May Concern: Once again it seems we are dealing with needless government overreach. Leveraged trading vehicles for experienced investors provide valuable tools in balancing portfolios, reaching portfolio design goals, and protecting against risk. My families financial future should not rely on yet another bureaucrat making decisions for me or my family.
I an very opposed to any regulatory limits on my current abilities to participate in complex ETFs and investments.
I have been involved with these investments for many years and am familiar with their risks and do not need any extra regulations to guide me. Placing these limits will significantly impact my retirement planning and financial future.
Please desist from imposing them.
Just regulation should protect those who cannot protect themselves from bad economics actors. This regulation proposes to protect people from themselves, which does not sound like a free country to me. The risks and rewards of leveraged and inverse funds are clear and obvious with some simple math. One does not need to be sophisticated. Leave the people alone.
To Whom it May Concern,
Do not remove or hamper my ability to utilize any means of investing that I deem to be to my best interest. Regulating individuals simply strengthens large investors at the expense of small investors. Leveraged funds can be used to hedge in times of financial uncertainty. There are already adequate disclaimers about the risks involved with leveraged funds available.
Dear Sirs: I understand that new regulations maybe passed affecting my ability to invest in certain securities and funds. I strongly feel this should be my decision and not yours as to whether I can make financial decisions for my portfolio. I am formerly a licensed Investment advisor that understands risks in the market. We are already heavily regulated, please no new regulations.
I'm concerned about having restrictions to my investment in leveraged or inverse funds as part of my investment strategies, they help enhance returns and I can use them as a hedge for investments. I don't feel that I should go through any special process to be able to choose which investment to choose . Every investment has it's own risks and benefits.
I manage my retirement financial assets based upon my financial needs and NOT FINANCIAL DESIRES. I am a retired CPA with plenty of experience in the assets I invest in. I understand risk, how it is measured and how to manage it. I do not need government permission to do what I know how to do. So please leave me alone, I can take care of myself.
Please keep your rules out of my investment strategy. I invest for myself and the well being of my family and leveraged funds are a significant part of my strategy. It is inappropriate to exclude the general public from investment vehicles that are available to the elite. It is also quite possible for anyone with more than an 8th grade education to understand risk and leverage.
