Stop trying to limit investment options for individual investors! There is absolutely no good reason for this recent push to regulate inverse and leveraged ETFs. If people/hedge funds can use leverage and short markets in other ways then why not via ETF?! Unless for some reason you don't want individuals to have a convenient option to short or use leverage??

Schwab has a detailed description of these funds that you have to read and agree to, and I fully understand the risks. For this reason, they should not be restricted.
I oppose restrictions on my rights to invest as I wish in public investments in regulated markets.

Nothing is going wrong. What are you trying to fix ? Leave it alone !!
Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies and I should have the right to choose my investments free from government intrusion and over reach.
Please do not restrict investor access to complex and leveraged products. Yes, there ought to be disclosures of risks and transparency around fund mechanisms. In other words: informed consent. But barring access is undemocratic and wrong. Many leveraged funds are useful tools for investors who lack the requisite capital to use futures to achieve leverage.
I strongly believe in the importance of all Americans to guide their own financial decisions, to pursue their investment goals without interference. I am many things: an attorney, a wife, an investor, a mom to be, a video game developer... But under these varied hats, a regular American.
