A license to sell leveraged ETFs, and specifically inverse ETF's, is a license to steal. Period. It should be a requirement that any designed financial instrument show in the prospectus how an investor may actually make money not just the risks of loosing it. Take TVIX, a long term chart shows in 2011 the price was 2,235,849,984, today its value is $112 dollars. A loosing investment start to finish, if you bought. They say it's a short term vehicle. But to be one there has to be some predictable relationship to something, anything, that could indicate an opportunity to buy.

Hello, I started investing in crypto a few months ago as a way to improve my finances. What I invest in should be my choice, not anyone else's.
I also do not need to take a government regulated test to determine if I qualify to invest in something. I am using crypto to improve my long term finances and that of my family, to break the cycle of poverty in my family.
I know many, many folks who are doing the same thing. Don't take that away from us. Let us make our own choices, and our own mistakes.
