As a small individual investor I frequently use leveraged and/or inverse funds. I have for years and am aware of the additional risk involved in using such investment vehicles. Usually I use these funds to take advantage of short term market trends. To suggest that some special knowledge, other than reading the prospectus, is absurd. And implementing a net worth requirement will ultimately
Leveraged ETFs have been an equalizer for my middle class family of 5. I wont use money on margin, and leveraged ETFs have allowed me to significantly increase our familys financial security into retirement. We are a young family as my wife and myself are under 40. We understand the risks, and have been able to utilize these financial instruments in a beneficial way that no other options can.
My ability to use leveraged funds is absolutely crucial to my investment strategies. I've been using them for 10+ years and looking forward to continue doing so for many years to come without restrictions. They do have a different learning curve vs other type of investments so I agree on letting people know about the increased risks but ultimately it should be up to them to decide since
Leveraged funds are diversified to begin with offsetting risk. If folks want to lever them 2x or 3x that's still far less risky than buying an individual stock. Given other issues in the markets it's baffling regulators are focus on funds and not out of the money options or crypto as real issues that can affect investors who aren't as experiences. As a former
To Whom May be Concerned, I am an educated investor and should not have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse ETFs. Not only I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks, I truly believe it's my choice and rights to invest on stocks or funds the way I want. That said, the
If you limit access to leveraged and inverse securities you should do the same for ARK etfs. They are treacherous. Many common stocks represent more risk the the leveraged etfs. I realize that the etfs don't track exactly at 2X or 3X but they are close enough. Look at a long term chart of SSO or UPRO. They are far more predictable than most common stocks or ETFs. The "Big Boys"
We should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. I understand leveraged and inverse funds and their risks.
I used to invest in futures like NQ, YM and ES which are more riskier. Leveraged and inverse funds are less riskier and this is one of the reason I switched to leveraged funds.
Leveraged funds help in enhancing returns and hedging my other
Leveraged ETFs are an important part of my investing strategy. Of course, each individual needs to understand how these investment vehicles are designed and meant to perform, the pros and cons for them in an investment strategy, and most importantly, the risks.
But just like we don't ban automobiles because they are dangerous, but instead install seatbelts and require a license to drive
I use leveraged funds as part of my overall strategy for investing. While they only make up a small portion if my investments, I think they are an important tool in achieving my goals. I should be able to purchase these freely without needing to go through special processes. I understand not only the risks associated with these types of investments, but also the rewards. We do not need
I have been investing in leveraged ETFs for at least 30 years.
It is very unfair to see my TQQQ s dropping from almost $90 to the current level of $36, I kept adding to my investment as the price dropped and now that I have the opportunity to buy cheaper regulators want to prevent me from investing to add to my devalued position. I know exactly what Im doing, it is on my own risk and the US is a
