Leveraged and inverse funds, among other complex products under consideration, are important tools for individual investors and should be freely accessible regardless of a persons professional background or wealth, including the ability to pay for training or advice/service. Sufficient information is publicly available for people to educate themselves and make personal risk/benefit
Inverse funds have been beneficial to me in my investment journey..So why interfere? I assume its risks just like I DO WHEN i invest in other instruments. Now when large institutions were bundling mortgages and swindling the little guys the regulators were no where to be found...

More regulations will just make it harder for the small investor, widening the gap between the rich and poor.

Excess regulations or processes that inhibit my ability to invest as I see fit cause an
I know what I am doing and should not lose my ability to invest.
These leveraged are excellent investment vehicles for taking advantage of market extremes, etc.
