The current regulations on "complex securities" is adequate. FINRA and SEC doesn't need any further new regulations in complex securities. These complex securities have the same risk and volatility as buying a individual stock. Geared ETF and Inverse are for advance investor and trader. The current agreement with brokers is adequate.

I as a Investor understand the risks involved in L&I funds before investing on them. So no need for restrictions on these funds. As 90% of stock market scrips are risky anyway, I do not see any problems with these direxion funds. Please do not make any limitation on these. Thanks.

Please do not continue to underestimate retail investors. The arbitrary 25k day trading limit, among others, already causes untold damage to retail traders who now have arbitrary limitations on what they can do because they're "too poor to play" which is blatantly discriminatory and frankly I'm surprised it's legal.
