I urge you, beg you really, not to move forward with these proposed regulations. My wife and I are retired, and depend on our investment income. I have been successfully investing in equity markets for decades now and leveraged funds have played a crucial role in that. I consider myself knowledgeable and experienced and am well aware of the risks involved. I strongly feel that I should be able to
I am well educated on the working of the stock market and it's various products, including leveraged and inverse funds. I don't need to pass a test or have the input of regulators on my investment choices. My retirement funds largely come from an annuity product at this time with minimal input of the investments. I use stocks, mutual funds and inverse funds to enhance and/or protect my
I strongly oppose any new regulations regarding leveraged and inverse ETF's. I am not a high net worth individual. I depend heavily on these instruments to grow and secure my own retirement and savings. The risk I take is my own to manage, not anyone else's. Regulations are supposed to protect people like me, not reduce the tools and opportunities I have to improve my economic
I, 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 of the public,
not just the privileged.
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 fully capable of
I strongly oppose any and all regulation on my choices of investments. Our current net worth includes hard assets, our home/car/etc., IRAs, Savings deposits, bank accounts, and credit union accounts. The total values are just over 1 million dollars. I know this is small compared to the 1% that rule the country, but it started with employer matched funding IRA decades ago. We built it slowly and
I am about to retire, and I manage my own investments, having built a net worth capable of sustaining myself and my wife for the next 30+ years, should we live that long. If I choose to have an financial advisor or not is my business, and not the government's, and I darn wall do not need ANYONE's permission how to invest MY OWN MONEY... get that, this is MY property to do with
I'm 68 years old and have been self-employed for most of my working life. Being self-employed means investing in various IRA, SEP, Self-Employed 401K plans, etc., which I manage myself and have for several decades. The very last thing I need is for government regulators tell me I can no longer have access to leveraged and inverse funds. These investments are a large part of my
For some of us who are young and do not have the financial means to invest meaningfully in the stock market, it is imperative to have access to leverage to smooth out the amount of investable assets throughout our lifetime. If, for example, a recession were to occur shortly before my retirement, when my earnings potential is highest and I likely have the most amount of money invested, I would be
I am 71 years old. I have been investing in stocks bonds and especially ETFs since I was 31. My experience is that leveraged ETFs an inverse leverage ETFS Have allowed me to safely invest for 40 years. Without these investment options I believe my long-term financial situation in retirement is at risk. I understand the risks of these investments and invest wisely. I dont need help from regulators
I am very concerned about the potential for regulatory over reach in controlling the management of personal portfolios, particularly hedging opportunities presented by leveraged ETFs. I object to new rules. Margin requirement management by brokers is most effective. Do not become a nanny state. No value in that, except for ineffective bureaucracies. I am retired but worked in the industry for my
