I am a grown man who has invested for many years. I do not need a regulator telling me what I can and cannot do with my own money. These leveraged and inverse funds are no different than investing in growth stocks and other companies. All go up and go down. These funds are an important way that I hedge my portfolio. Please do not restrict my freedom.
