I use leveraged and inverse funds routinely and have done very well, so long as I hedge leveraged stock funds with leveraged bond funds. Having back-tested rules to guide the balancing is key. Please do not interfere with my attempts to improve my model.
I understand the benefits and risks of investing in both leveraged and inverse funds. I make my own investment decisions. These funds are public securities. Regulators should not establish any rules or procedures that would inhibit my ability to invest in leveraged or inverse funds. Thank you.
I strongly favor these proposed rule changes. Specifically, the disclosing of synthetic positions. It is vital to combat predatory trading practices; further data releases and thorough market monitoring is required to achieve this end.
It is entirely inappropriate to limit public access to trading L&I funds. The idea that the public needs protection from these complex products reveals only FINRAs ignorance as to the general intelligence and sophistication of the public. FINRA ought to propose a rule to limit the limits it is allowed to put on the public.
Proposed Rule #S7-24-15 is harmful to open free markets and exceeds the intended reach of the Commission. Despite the beliefs of our government and its lifetime bureaucrats, the public is capable of thinking for themselves. We are not obedient surfs dependent upon elitist politicians for our wellbeing.
Re proposed rule S7-24-15, please don't restrict my right to choose which investments I feel are right for me and my family. I should choose, not be restricted by government fiat. And why can't an average investor access the same stuff as rich people?
Having worked in the Financial World for 28 years - what i have learned is that we tend to make rules to benefit us and rich. There are times when the average person can invest and play in the real world. Please let people compete, education is the key not over-regulation
Any ruling on having a higher degree of accuracy finding illegal activity is an important step for ensuring the U.S market maintains faith on the world market, with the added benefit of doing the right thing.
