I object to government regulators deciding what I can and cannot do with my investable funds. I receive a prospectus when I buy products that require them, and the burden is on me to make an informed decision. I do not want to have to take any special courses or pass any tests or explain my reasoning to someone outside my family. I have an investment advisor with whom I can discuss whether

No one has a problem with investing in Amazon of Nvidia or Facebook at their high points only to watch them lose 25% of their value in a matter of weeks if not days. But yet you want to "protect me" from a leveraged or inverse fund. Best case scenario is you do nothing and let me be responsible for me.
