Leveraged etfs and inverse funds provide retail investors to create wealth over an extended period of time. These are easy to understand like any other regular etfs. There's sufficient information available through unpaid and paid sources about these investment instruments. Any restrictions will be against the interest of retail investors.
Comments: Please do not limit or effectively make it impossible for small investors like myself from using leveraged ETFs. Im knowledgeable and your materials on the subject are enough for informed decisions. I vote, I pay taxes, I live a modest life, I deserve the right to invest in all available legal investment products.
I disagree with the idea that these leveraged/inverse funds should be disallowed for purchase by individual investors. The risks are reasonably well-known and the information about them is available for anyone to read. The fund which I am invested in allows me to hedge my portfolio in a way that would not be possible without it. Please allow me to continue to trade these funds.
Leveraged stocks with options offer easy money for unsophisticated investors (those without insider information and months of day to day observation). By selling deep in the money puts on a variety of these investment vehicles youre able to get a safe and moderate return while others can hedge their losses. Its a win win.
