I have an existing position in pro shares short the S&P 500 because I Believe that stocks are dangerously over valued ,and as a hedge if my retirement fund should go broke.
I am against the proposal to limit individual investors access to leveraged investments. Their use is an important part of my investment plan to take advantage of short term opportunities in the market.
Please do Not limit me or my financial investment adviser by limiting the use of leveraged products.
