I am against restricting access to these investments.
I would like to make sure you consider that many investors outside of 'high net worth' individuals only have the capacity to understand the risks involved with leveraged and inverse type products which ProShares provides.

I have the right to make these investment decisions myself and you (the regulators) must not take this right away from me. You could instead focus your time on actually enforcing existing regulations on your friends in Wall St.
