I strongly feel that American investors such as myself should continue to have the right to invest in leveraged & inverse ETF's if we so choose. To have some regulatory body make that decision for us I feel is un-American, un-called for and unnecessary. I have been investing in leveraged & inverse ETF's since 2013 and I continue to invest in them because of the great return they offer. Also in the case of inverse ETF's, it's a way I can short a certain market without having to pay interest on borrowing shares if I were to sell short that market directly. I have my investment accounts with Merrill and every time I invest in a leveraged ETF a warning window pops up informing me about the risks involved in such an investment and that's enough as far as I'm concerned. I practice formal risk management and I don't need some regulatory body doing that for me. I'm in the camp of people who feel there should be less regulatory measures imposed on people not more.
