A lesson learned - As a retired Quality Analyst from Lockheed Martin, trading an IRA, I've struggled with only trading long. I've learned with inverted ETFs, long is only half of the dynamic. Forced to take a cash tends to make one walk away from the market. This disengagement with the market and reengagement is dangerous. With the inverted ETFs one can stay engaged and work
I (the People) should be able to invest in what I want, NOT what you think. That;s just too much regulation (Micromanaging)
I am more than capable of understanding complex investments; if you want to fix ignorance; then we need to FIX OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM to teach our young valuable financial Life Skill.
I (the people) am capable of understanding what I don't know and research it. That is
Please allow unrestricted availability of leveraged in inverse ETF's. Many private individuals are choosing to manage their own retirement and investment funds.

Although it's a limited part of my overall portfolio, these investment strategies are important to me and my family as it allows me to protect and grow my
I think that I should be able to make my own investment decisions without further regulations from Big Brother. The sponsors of leveraged and inverse funds are required to make numerous disclosures regarding risks of the funds as well as how they operate. It is the responsibility of an investor to read and understand these disclosures. If he doesn't do that he can choose not to invest
Hi, I was really disturbed to hear that unreasonable regulations may be imposed on certain types of leveraged investments. This is a massive overreach that prevents people from taking control of their own portfolios and making personal decisions that can significantly boost retirement funds and savings. We are not children - we understand all investments involve risks, and it is up to each and
In September 2019, the Census Bureau reported that income inequality had reached its highest level in 50 years. COVID begins. Retail investors increase their participation in public markets (now 25% of total equities trading volume), destabilizing the status quo, and costing smart-money hedge funds and investment banks 10s of billions of dollars in losses.
