Leverage and inverse ETFs should be available to all of us. We as individuals assume all the risk for our investing/trading and should be able to buy and sell these items as we wish.
I use inverse etfs to hedge positions and also gain when the market is heading to the downside. I use leverage etf on a short term basis to boost my returns. I study charts, use technical analysis and the leverage
I am fully aware of risks and benefits associated with leveraged ETFs. I have made a conscious decision investing in these funds which has helped me achieve my retirement goals sooner. I work for University of Southern California who has not been able to help me in retirement saving. I achieved in a short period of time what university's retirement fund specialists were planning in 20
I oppose the proposed action by FINRA. Many investors use leveraged products as insurance or hedges to counter market volatility. The proposal is a direct confrontation on my freedom to make my own investment decisions.
I have over 30 years of investment expertise and realize the risks in inverse and leveraged funds. They make up only a small portion of my total portfolio and are used to protect
I should be able to choose which investments (whether leveraged/inverse or not) to invest in. I fully understand the risks/rewards of leveraged/inverse ETFs. They provide a specific investment strategy within my diversified portfolio. Restricting or eliminating these types of investments would be the same as prohibiting or restricting investors from investing in publicly traded small-cap stocks (
I use inverse funds to hedge my investments. I am fully aware of the risks involved with leverage and I understand how inverse funds work. Additional restrictions will only limit my ability to protect my investments. I have already used options in the past to leverage and to protect positions. But options are time limited and expire. I have found that leveraged and inverse funds are actually
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Obligations on Complex Products and Options from the perspective of small investors. Such products offered in public securities and exchange traded funds have provided small investors like me and my family members the access to hedging products at reasonable costs. Such products provide us the hedge and protection so that we can invest in a wider
I understand that you are considering legislation that will further restrict investors from investing in a broad range of public securities designated as complex products. We already receive prospectuses which spell out risks. What is your reasoning for adding more restrictions? As a small investor I want the right to invest in any publicly traded stock or ETF of my choosing. We do not need more
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest in leveraged funds.
These leveraged funds are very instrumental in my investment strategy. I use leveraged funds for a small percentage of my total portfolio, buying more shares when prices are low and buying fewer shares when prices rise.
This is a volume averaging strategy involving a double leveraged mid cap etf and a triple leveraged nasdaq fund
Dear FINRA,
I should have the right to invest in any public investment I want with no restrictions, including leveraged ETFs, as should every other American. Excluding all but high net worth individuals from investing in leveraged ETFs, or putting in place restrictions/requirements to invest in leveraged ETFs is not fair to the average middle class American. I do not need regulations to protect
Sir/Ma'am,
It has come to my attention that restrictions are being considered that would impose restrictions on the types of investors that can invest in leveraged and inverse funds.
I find the fact that this is even being considered to be deeply hypocritical considering the fact that many individual stocks (nevermind cryptocurrency) have similar or even more aggressive risk profiles
