Each investment carries its own set of risks. The basis of the free market is the principle that investors must bare the consequences of their investments whether the results are beneficial or detrimental. Providing information of risks is a beneficial service, but trading restrictions could harm smart investors with limited resources.
Comments: I am not confused on these inverse and leveraged products. I know how they work and like trading them without having to worry about the risks about losing more on margin. It allows better participation from retail traders who are educated on the risks and rewards of these products.
Although these funds may come with increased risk, I believe individual investors should be allowed to decide for themselves, if inverse and leverage funds are suitable for their investment strategy. They already come with warnings of the risk and individual investors should be responsible, not regulatory agencies, for making investment choices.
You have no right to tell people what they can and cannot invest in. The understanding of the risks in leveraged and inverse indexes is known at the time of purchase. Each person is solely responsible for their own investments and risks. With each of these suggestions you erode any faith in a free market.
Dear Regulators, I know that certain type of shares are risky, but I can understand that market does involve risk. Certain risks do give better returns. So, this privilege should not be limited to people with huge wealth. I should be able to decide where to put my money to invest.
I believe it is in my best interest to be able to invest in leveraged funds or not. As with any investment made available to the public, there are risks involved. There are so many other types of funds that have more risk than leveraged ETFs which are not under scrutiny.
Please allow these investments available to the public.

Hello
I want to keep using levered products in a controlled and responsible manner
I am not a gambler or speculator, rather a long term investor with slightly higher than average risk tolerance. I am young with a high paying job, this is the timing that makes sense to take on higher financial risks for me.
Do not restrict the trading of leveraged and inverse ETFs. These are valuable tools in an investor's toolbox that help to hedge against certain kinds of risk. They also simplify the process of gaining credit and cap the risk exposure in the process.
Show some restraint and stop trying to restrain those of us using these tools.
I would like to go on record that I am opposed to any regulations and prohibit or limit my ability to buy public investments. Every individual should perform a level of Due Diligence that they feel comfortable with. This risk provided by leveraged or inverse funds is no greater than the risk for any other equity.
