Please do NOT restrict my ability to trade leveraged and/or inverse funds. Inverse funds, particularly, are a way for small investors to protect themselves against market declines. Most of us can't afford to short stocks or Index funds, so inverse funds are the only way to profit in a down market. Taking away that option is a terrible idea. In addition, leveraged funds are a great help for
Investors assume the risk of their investments and are responsible for knowing the risks. It is not the duty of government to regulate their investment options
So you won't do your jobs and limit what MMs and hedge funds can do, but you want to regulate what retail investors can and cannot invest in??

For those of us that don't trade options, especially on individual stocks, the leveraged funds are a way to invest in whatever
I oppose restrictions on my right to invest. Inverse funds provide a good hedge methodology in times of rising rates and stock pull backs. I do not want to lose this useful tool in managing my accounts.
I am opposed to the implementation of this rule. I am a small scale, non-pro investor and these type of ETFs come in handy when I believe I have determined the direction of a given market.

Stay away from these products! We dont need government telling us what to do with our money. We tell YOU what to do with our money!
Investors can make their own decisions regarding the products that they buy and sell. Don't you have anything better to do (i.e., cracking down on congress members engaged in insider trading)?
Dont Regulate my right to invest as see fit !!
How is this not extreme overreach? Let me invest my own money however I see fit, the government already takes too much.
