Banning traders from buying or trading these ETF's while they are already holding them would cause catastrophic damage to most traders who are currently in positions they cannot exit. This is something that needs MUCH more time to be considered a good plan.
I appose regulation of leveraged and invers funds as they are vital to my long term investment strategies, which allows for greater diversification and higher safe withdrawal rates which keep pace with inflation.
I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
I currently invest in the following:
Target Date Funds
Non-Traditional Index Funds (Smart Beta + ESG)
Emerging Market Funds
High Yield Bond Funds
Closed-end Funds
Commodity Funds

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment

I oppose any restrictions to my right to invest in any public investments. I am educated enough to understand the risk with leverage and inverse funds and I use it as hedge as a limited part of my overall portfolio. I make such decision - and not regulators - to make right investments for myself and my family without any imposed restrictions.

Do not remove or hamper my ability to utilize any means of investing that I deem to be to my best interest.

There are already adequate disclaimers about the risks involved with leveraged funds available.
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am an individual investor to stock market in US, and part of my portfolio is consisted of leveraged ones. I like this measure, for it is good way to invest more than available cash or other asset and provide me opportunity to get better result. Please do not restrict this opportunity and let me keep doing what I have been for 10+ years.
Waiting for good news
I am opposed to the banning of inverse funds. It is the major way I have as a small investor to "bet against" certain moves in the market (like today's market) and avoid the greater risk of investing in futures which would require putting more money at risk
