Leveraged funds are important to my overall investing strategy. I understand the risks of investing in them and use them as part of a broader portfolio of investments to enhance my returns. In my opinion, leveraged etfs provide a MUCH safer alternative to many other common methods of increasing returns such as margin, options and investing in penny stocks. It would be unfair and unjust for regulators to limit the ability of beginner and less wealthy investors from accessing the safest form of leverage in these funds. Some people may lose money, but that is part of the learning experience that every investor must deal with. Investors will always chase big returns and if these safe, understandable leveraged funds become restricted, they will chase those returns using riskier assets and lose more money in the long term.
