I strongly oppose regulators blocking investments such as leveraged ETFs and inverse fund ETFs. These funds serve a valuable investment tool with lower risk than other investment tools such as options and options strategies or even investing is some stocks outright. As a long time investor I am capable of understanding the risk related to leveraged funds and I don't require the government to impose measures to protect individuals. These fund types are an important part of my personal investment strategy and I would be very disappointed if the government did not allow this type of investment.
These funds allow me to short the market without fully exposing my entire investment portfolio or shorting individual stocks. Additionally I can exposure to longer term leveraged investments without the use of margin accounts.
