If you limit access to leveraged and inverse securities you should do the same for ARK etfs. They are treacherous. Many common stocks represent more risk the the leveraged etfs. I realize that the etfs don't track exactly at 2X or 3X but they are close enough. Look at a long term chart of SSO or UPRO. They are far more predictable than most common stocks or ETFs. The "Big Boys"
Government and industry regulators should have no authority to prevent or restrict individual investors from investing in securities that are perfectly legal, regardless of an investor's personal understanding of such products. Informing investors is a great thing, but regulators have no right to require investors to undergo any kind of prerequisite educating or testing prior to trading
To pass this regulation and eliminate certain investment vehicles, such as leveraged vehicles or the ability to go short on certain vehicles, implies several onerous things. Such as attempted regulatory manipulation of the market in one direction and secondly an insult to the intelligence of certain investors.
Why should vehicles that go short be more risky than vehicles that go long ?
Such laws
an investor shouldn't have to go through any special process
like passing a test before we can invest in public securities,
like leveraged and inverse funds. Or explain that we are
capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds
and their risks. we do not
need these measures imposed on us
I want to retain my right to choose public investments without having to pass a test or other special process. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks.
Please do not restrict my right to invest in public investments.
I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for you and your family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

I use leveraged and inversed funds to hedge positions. I can hedge my position within seconds. Very helpful and makes trading much safer for me as the volatility is very unforgiving these days.
I want to choose what I want to invest and I understand the risk of these leveraged and inverse fund.
