I should be able to be able to short stocks just like the professionals. They would not like to be restricted either! It is an unfair playing field when you have to play by different rules than other investors. It's called cheating! I should be able to not have restrictions on my IRA either and should be allowed to short stocks like other investors and now you want to take away the only
Inverse funds are an important investment vehicle for me to offset downturns and hedge against certain market conditions. I am very concerned this type of investing vehicle would be restricted or taken away from an average investor like me. Inverse funds have allowed me to attack inflationary impacts head-on without using more complex put & call techniques, which are more difficult to
