Hi, Having the ability to hedge my retirement funds is essential when there is high volatility in a high volatile world. The easiest way to do this is with a leveraged inverse ETF of the SP500 or Nasdaq. The drift risk in a leveraged inverse ETF is a lot les risky compared to options trading or short selling to hedge a portfolio. Options are complicated, expensive and short-term forms of insurance. Short selling is risky since there are infinite losses, expensive interest and I am responsible for paying dividends on the security I am short selling.

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 leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to one's investment strategies. They help one protect (hedge) one's investments and/or seek enhanced returns.
