I have learned of your proposed new restrictions on my ability to purchase leveraged ETF shares. This is a mistake. I need to be able easily to use that kind of vehicle. I have used those for years without any problem. When the tape has gone against me I have had no problem accepting responsibility for those losses. I do not need to be protected by the government. Thank you.
Do not allow this to happen, we all have a right to invest and educate ourselves. We dont all have the means of higher education!
There is no need to start regulating leveraged ETF's. Each and every person should be able to trade what they want at their own risk.
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest!!!!
I have held these type of investments in my portfolio for many years.These funds are a limited percentage of my portfolio. However, they have enhanced my bottom line significantly.

Comments: I regularly trade inverse funds. I don't find them "complex" at all. Inverse funds are short which ever index they cover and go up when that index goes down. As I am a very small trader it is the safest and easiest way to short the market. If you take this away from me I will have to short individual stocks which is much more risky due to factors involved
It is unfair to take away these investment products from retail investors and traders while the institutions enjoy the access to plethora of information and sophisticated tools and algorithms to profit from the market.
Anyone that has a brokerage account should be able to buy and sell any public traded stock or etf. It is up to the investor to evaluate the risk not up to regulatory groups. Please continue to allow personal trading as a person sees fit to do for their own situations.
