I am an informed and educated retail investor and i make investments in leveraged ETFs that are indexed to various sectors to hedge risk. I need this ability and it is my right to invest as i see fit for my success. I believe investments tied to sector indices are no more riskier than individual stocks which i invest in as well.
I strongly recommend that you do Not interfere with my right to choose which investments are right for me and my family. Public investments should be just that... Public!
