It's a publicly available ETF. The ETF should simply have a disclaimer that describes how there is decay (declining value) do to the options component and that it can be dangerous to hold for long periods of time if not monitored well.
Please keep your politically tainted hands off my investments.
There is no reason a government body should have visibility to private law abiding citizens investments. It is a direct infringement of the 4th amendment on an individuals right to privacy. The only reason a government wants would to be use it as a political weapon.

Comments: Leveraged and inverse ETFs allow small investors the ability to invest in a variety of Stocks we don't have the resources to invest in otherwise.

Once again the freedoms afford by this great nation is being stripped away by those who think they have the right to tell me what to do with money I have earned through my efforts. I believe FINRA should leave things as they are, so people can make their own financial decisions.
I oppose restrictions to invest in leveraged and inverse funds and ETFs. I have an MBA in finance and understand how the inverse and leveraged fumnds work. Inverse funds are an important part of my investment process when the market is trending down. I use leveraged funds in strong uptrends and in strong downtrends. I am currently using leveraged inverse funds as a hedge to my long investments.

The leveraged etfs provide a chart of the positives of only 33% leveraged. Futures are 5 to 1 on the SP 500 and out of the money options are super high. All investors need to be in etfs and zero mutual/hedge funds. A small percentage of a portfolio
I am totally against these measures. They prevent us from getting ahead.
There should be no restrictions to my ability to protect my investments by buying leveraged or inverse funds. If the market collapses (or rather WHEN it does )the inverse funds will at least give me a viable amount of recovery.
