This is my money and I should able to choose my own investments. Inverse and leveraged funds are a strategy to combat the hedge funds and institutional money - both are market manipulators. Try regulating them. And, try regulating Congress - they abuse the system and make investments off inside information but no regulations there. So, let's just regulate the common people, of course.
I believe I should be allowed to make my own informed decisions about investing in any public security. There are ample warnings and notifications in place and to segregate and make one class that is useful in hedging my portfolio harder to access only adds unnecessary and burdensome complications. While it is only a small part of my portfolio,over the past 10 years it is my second best
Dear Regulator: Leveraged and inverse funds are important hedges for me. Thanks to them my capital reached nearly its highest point in ten years. I've learned how to use them, and I know what I'm doing, so please leave my investments alone. Thank you. By the way it sounds like you know what is coming and when and are preparing for it.

Adequate warnings and educational information are readily available in the fund prospectuses and the issuers
I am writing to request you refrain from placing more regulations on the trading community with regards to inverse instruments. Information is readily available and has been sent by my trading house regarding the risks associated with these instruments. Such instruments are an important part of trading and provide hedging tools for portfolio management. We do not need more government intervention
1. Enforcement should be as immediate as possible. 2. Transparency : Give detailed numbers, company names and extended information on your investigation. 3. Bigger fines. Let's be real. The fines you're giving are symbolic. What's even the point exactly? 4. Kinda unrelated but maybe the best way to enforce those ruled is for finra to cease to exist? And be replaced by a public
