I have used leveraged funds as powerful tools to hedge my portfolio and take advantage of certain periods in the market. In fact, I saved for my house down payment using a leveraged ETF and Im pretty sure its the only way I would have afforded a down payment as a first time homebuyer.
I think its already ridiculous small investors like myself cant invest in private companies just because were
This is an unjust move to limit flexibilities and insurance for our future and retirement. Inverse funds help those of us who do not have millions and cannot gain access to our 401K to safeguard it from the market crashing. I understand that it is a risk to invest in inverse funds; however, that is a risk that I understand, and I am willing to make. There is risk in any investment. It's a
I'm confused about why these funds should be an issue for regulators. They have been just fine for the past several years, and now they become a problem? This issue makes me suspect, and probably correctly so, that there is "money" behind the regulation concerns. Someone is not getting their "fair share" someway or somehow, and therefore we need to
PLEASE do not take away ordinary retail investors' right to trade these products. There is an inherent risk in any investment. People who participate in the market should be able to assess for themselves what level of risk they want to take on. If they don't want the risk, there are plenty of other vehicles to trade. Most importantly, these products are the only way ordinary
Leveraged and inverse funds should be available to everyone, not just the privileged. We started buying leveraged and inverse funds in 2011 and over the course of the last 11 years, we have continued to invest more in those funds as we've seen our best returns from these investments. They have also gone down in value but we do not sell when it's down. Leveraged and inverse
I oppose having restrictions placed on leveraged ETF;s for the following reasons: 1. There are many individual securities (stocks and funds) that are more volatile than leveraged ETFs 2, Volatility is not risk and more meaningful is the trend of its moving average. e. Volatility provide investors an opportunity to achieve their objective in a shorter time period. Rather than impose restrictions
Effective May 28, 2024, in accordance with the industry-led shortened settlement cycle from two business days (T+2) to one business day (T+1), FINRA will implement its changes for equity trade reporting. Please see DTCC notice for details of the financial industry coordination for this project and FINRA’s initial Technical Notice for this initiative which includes updates to its specifications.
These proposed regulations are outrageous. In a time when markets are posed to melt down, what other hedge does the average investor have but leveraged and inverse funds? These funds are not difficult to understand, certainly no more difficult than the average vastly overvalued equity or byzantine mutual fund.
This seems like a way of preventing normal investors from protecting ourselves in
Dear FINRA,
Restricting access to leveraged and inverse funds only serves to tip the investing playing-field more in the favor of the wealthy and institutional investors. Moreover, while unconventional, not all inverse funds necessarily carry greater risk of ultimate loss than the general market does. I am a frequent investor in SVXY in particular, and depriving me of this investment opportunity
I have my own right to decide which product I want to invest. 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 you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I got a PhD majored in computational finance and I understand leveraged and inverse funds and
