Leveraged funds are diversified to begin with offsetting risk. If folks want to lever them 2x or 3x that's still far less risky than buying an individual stock. Given other issues in the markets it's baffling regulators are focus on funds and not out of the money options or crypto as real issues that can affect investors who aren't as experiences. As a former professional trader, this is backwards and not focused on the greater good, I don't know what it is focused on honestly.

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!!
