I am a individual investor who understands the risk of buying leveraged and inverse funds.
I do not want to be restricted from making financial decisions by restrictions being implemented on what type of investments I make.
I do understand that certain investments come with more risk.

To support their investor protection missions, FINRA and state securities regulators jointly collect and publicly disclose extensive registration information about financial professionals associated with broker-dealer firms (referred to herein as FINRA-registered financial professionals or RFPs). This registration information, which includes information about customer complaints, is used by regulators to license and oversee RFPs. The information publicly disclosed about RFPs is far more comprehensive than what is published for most other types of professionals.
There are several trading instruments including futures and options. There are as or even more risky than leveraged ETFs. Investors and traders have to be in charge of risk there are taking. If someone wants to improve financial education, do it at school. Let investors think themselves as responsible adults.
I should be the one making financial decisions regarding my investments, not regulators. I should not need to pass a test before investing. Leveraged funds help enhance my returns and hedge against unfavorable market conditions. I oppose restrictions to my right to invest.
I am well aware of the risks involved in trading leveraged and inverse ETFs.
PLEASE NOTE: I am staunchly OPPOSED to the US Government attempting to stifle or restrict in any way the availability of these financial products for the general public via retail trading platforms or otherwise.
I am a registered Financial Advisor with 36 years of Brokerage experience. I use Ameritrade for my leverage ETF purchases. This is a means to catch up your market downside after a sell off. Please allow individuals this continued right. Thanks, Lowell Shepley
Why would you stop people from investing as they choose? I don't need a parent looking out for my financial well being. That's not the purpose of our government. If I make bad decisions regarding my investments, it's on me. Thanks
Please leave these financial options open for investors that want to participate in pro shares or etf leverage shares. As a shareholder we know the risk and we know the rewards of ETF leverage Please do not put restrictions on these type of investment. Thank you
I do not need the Federal government to protect me from my own financial decisions, nor should the Federal government impose restrictions on anyone else's investment decisions. Stop assuming all Americans are stupid and in need of protection from themselves.
