It is not right to limit choices of what I can invest in. Just because I am not a "professional" investor does not mean I don't understand risk. This seems like a misguided attempt to protect people from themselves that will actually result in less ability for people who are not billionaires to make money.
I am also skeptical of any tests you might give, many people
Leveraged products are a useful, and even vital, tool in creating a portfolio to weather volatile markets in a high inflation economy. Restricting access to them, especially now, and reducing investor choices only makes the environment for investors worse. If such leveraged ETFs are unavailable, investors may have no choice but to take on significantly more risk (and at higher expense) by
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, not just the privileged.
I shouldn't 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 and their
Your proposed regulations of inverse and leveraged funds are unnecessary. The prospectuses already give adequate warning of the risks involved in these investments. Your proposed regulation would prevent people like me from benefiting from the investment strategies offered by inverse and leveraged funds. The use of these types of funds also provide a way for IRAs to short markets. Without these

investments that are right for myself.

I have been responsibly investing for years with a complex and diverse portfolio that I base on my own personal risk tolerance. At times, this means I may include products like leveraged or inverse leveraged funds in my portfolio, as they can be effective tools to gain exposure to certain sectors, or conversely to hedge against a downturn in a sector. Of course, as with any investment decision or
PLEASE do not restrict access to leveraged ETFs. I can take responsibility, as all adults should - and we do not need anyone to restrict our ability to choose investments that match our risk/reward profile. All stocks require knowing their risks before investing, and leveraged funds should be treated no different just because they might be more risky. Leveraged funds are an integral part of my

Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
I work in the financial industry and I fully understand the pros and cons of the leveraged and inverse funds. One can achieve leverage through other ways like margin, so I do not see why leveraged funds are
Inverse funds are important protection for downside risk in my IRA Account. If were not for the instruments I would have had to go cash instead of going delta neutral and still collect blue chip dividends. The result is I had good 1st Q 22 not bad for an average Joe. It pains to think you going thru this exercise again. In 2006 I got scared out my hedges by this same scrutiny and suffered heavy
