These types of funds are a very important part of my investment portfolio. While they do not make up the majority of my investments, they allow me to choose exactly how much equity risk I expose myself to. In addition, these funds are often safer long term investments than individual stocks. I implore you to maintain the American freedom to invest in the ways we think are best.
Violates the Existence of a Free Market is a basic principle of trading in the Stock Market. The inverse leveraged Securities have taken a Hugh Beating while the Indexes continued to rise.
Now that the Trends are changing Regulators are wanting to

Investment is a personal choice. Investor has right to decide what is best for him/her. Every investor knows that stock market presents risks and rewards. Individual investor has right to choose investment vehicle available, based on his/her experience and risk tolerance. Government may be able to restrict risky investment for uneducated/inexperienced, even if suggested by an advisor or money
I do not support this regulation. I trade stocks for a living and these vehicles are vital to my ability to make a living. Regulations restricting leveraged and inverse funds are onerous and unnecessary. There are more than enough disclosures required by brokers that can inform the retail investor. These actions will only enrich an already highly-profitable financial industry through the forced
This is not freedom. We do not need the FINRA restricting what securities people can buy or sell. We saw issues with Gamestop stock for example. The playing field should be level. It's even possible that people use outside the box trades, such as covered calls on TQQQ due to the high volatility and holding over time, arguably a reasonable approach given enough timeline.

Unlike regular stocks, one has to only track market level for buying and selling these funds and therefore do not need a lot of analysis before investing in them in order to achieve enhanced returns. I believe they should be freely available for trading to the investing public without unnecessary regulations. Thank
I have a finance degree and have been investing since college. I invest in stocks, mutual funds, options, and leveraged and inverse funds. I'm quite aware of the risks involved from my 25 years of investing experience. Putting restrictions and forcing investors like myself to take tests doesn't help me. What I choose to invest in should be my choice, not the government.
As an individual investor, I should be able to choose public investments without restriction. Leveraged and inverse investment vehicles are important to my investment strategy. For instance, in order to hedge long exposure in S&P 500 stocks, I might buy a call spread in the VXX ETN. I am capable of understanding these types of financial products and do not need to be tested by my
As an experienced and knowledgeable individual investor, I strongly oppose any restrictions for the adult investors to invest in public investments including but not limited to stock options, leverage and inverse fund. The adult investors themselves instead of FINRA or another people shall select and decide the type of the public investments to the best of their interest and investment goals.
Investing in any security is complex. There are individual securities that are of much higher risk than the leveraged securities. The leveraged securities are offered generally for indices which consists of tens of hundreds of individual stocks. In the absence of leveraged securities investors will go into margins which is equally risky. Investor education will certainly help but it should
