I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds
and their risks.
Regulators should NOT be able to choose the public
investments that are right for me and my family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public,
not just the privileged.
Please refrain from from taking my ability to invest in the same funds as the wealthy. You can add disclaimers to warn people of the risk but the market should be free to all to invest in the funds they wish.
As long as there is sufficient disclosure of risks, government should make every investment vehicles and tools available to everyone, instead of limiting them. By claiming "protection of investors", you are overreaching and infringing upon individual freedom.
Please do not limit the publics ability to invest in Pro Shares reverse index funds. This is a right of every person to decide on their own investment principles in action when weighing their risk. Thank You Ed Miller

I disagree with strong government oversize. I believe anyone that chooses to invest does so at their own risk and as such is responsible to procure the information or education necessary to do so. I believe government regulations of individual choice is wrong.
Investments, even risky ones; should be available to everyone. It is ok to explain the pitfalls to everyone and make them acknowledge risks that you have explained. I use these investments to enhance returns especially if the markets are volatile.
Leveraged and inverse funds are important for my investment strategy. I understand the risk associated with them. These investments are a limited part of my portfolio. I also use them to hedge my investments and to seek enhanced returns.
Inverse ETFs and leveraged ETFs are a way for retail investors like myself to hedge against the current inflationary and recession trends in the market. Taking away these important tools will expose retail to more risk, not less.
