I ask to invest in what I want freely!
I oppose any restrictions to my right to invest in public investments that are already out there.
Required labeling and disclosure of a fund's use of leverage and inverse strategies is sufficient information for the majority of investors. Regulatory focus should be on the transparency of the labeling and the sufficiency of the disclosure required of these funds. Ultimately, government cannot protect a person from his/her poor judgement, hubris, or greed; a person bent on failure will always find a way. Don't limit the rest of us from using these investment tools.
I should be able to invest my hard earned money in any investment I wish to make. The idea of having to take a test is appalling. If I wish to use leverage or inverse funds as my investment is my decision!!! I am more than capable of investing my $. You waste time thinking of how can we justify our existence by coming up with another regulation. Do you think people read your diatribe that you force on investors? We do not need another regulation!!
I don't want or need regulations to protect me from my investment decisions.
Please don't discontinue them for usm
I completely oppose restrictions on any leveraged ETFs for retail traders. This is our money and we demand the right to choose how we invest and trade. Are you going to restrict our ability to buy and sell options soon? Or how about simply prevent people from even trading stocks? Are you going to force us to put money in CDs only? One thing leads to another. The absurdity of preventing retail traders from investing in these vehicles is rediculous! Work on real issues like organized pump and dump scammers, not legit investment tools!

I already own some of thes accounts or they are in my strategy.
