It is none of your business what I choose to invest in, and you are not some god-like incredibly talented people. You are just typical government employees trying and failing to appear smarter than the rest of us. We do NOT need you or your rules to "protect" us from investment risks.
We all understand the stock market has become a casino which the SEC refuses to properly
I have used leverage to enhance my portfolio gains. I also use them in my retirement account. To eliminate them would be a big disservice to investors. Leverage works like any other investment, whether its commodities, metals or even bonds. Please dont impose your thoughts and try to regulate all investors with one stroke. Im capable of understanding the risk Im taking with leverage both regular
Please continue allowing me the freedom to invest in leverage and inverse funds, without any special, government required mandates I'm aware that these are risky investments, and use them sparingly, mostly to hedge other investments or as an alternatives to options. They are an inexpensive way to get an outsized return. My broker (Charles Schwab) is very good about warning me about the
I believe I have the right to use leveraged or inverse ETFs as part of my investment strategy.

I should 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, in the spirit of free-market capitalism. No one should have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds
I am a small-time, retail trader/investor. I regularly use and understand leveraged and inverse funds and use those to manage risk and on occasion to speculate. I do NOT feel that it is a regulator's responsibility to limit my choices when it comes to investing. Nor do I have the time or desire to jump through hoops to comply with imposed restrictions. If someone doesn't
Do NOT limit my ability to invest in leveraged and inverse funds in ANY way! There are already enough hurdles in place for the lay investor such as the $25k needed for pattern day-trading among others. I found these funds recently and they are exactly what I was looking for in my investment strategy. I research what I do before I undertake an investment. I understand the risks. ANYTHING is risky
Individuals not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for them and their family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. One shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before one can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. We are capable of understanding
The right to freely invest our money is no different than any other fundamental freedom in this country (although many are constantly under attack). Consumers have both the right and responsibility to educate themselves about the risks & rewards associated with any investment, make the personal choice, and accept responsibility for it.
