There is no need for this regulatory idea. Leveraged and inverse funds are not hard to understand. You buy them with the known factor that the risk can be accentuated. Fine, do your homework and learn. Do not penalize those of us that do. I had a leveraged S&P 500 fund for well over a year and did quite nicely by it. You do have to monitor leveraged and inverse funds. .

Dear Regulators!
It would be a huge mistake to limit investors abilities to use the various leveraged and inverse leveraged ETFs currently available as components of a balanced asset allocation. For long-term and short-term investors these vehicles have an important role to play in both mitigating risk and providing capital appreciation. Please do not put addition burdens on small retail
Hi, I'm just righting to say that I oppose further regulation on leveraged funds. I don't want to have to demonstrate a certain amount of wealth or regulated investment knowledge.
