Please do not regulate me out of making my own choices on investments with my money. My friends and I know what leverage and inverse funds are and how they work. They can help hedge investments and bring good returns if used properly and at the right times.
These should remain public securities for everyone and not just the elite and privileged. Let us continue to have the freedom to make our own choices, whether enhanced returns are made or someone suffers a loss. At least it was through our own research and choices.

I have invested in TQQQ. I found the investment is fair and just for individual investors who is willing to take the risk and reward as in every investment. I am an individual investor. I started investing in stocks more than 30 years ago. I found TQQQ is the best investment among all the ETFs as far as I know. I can understand the leverage without anyone tell me the risk and rewards. The cost is a little high at 0.95%. But, I think if you know what you are doing, it is worth it.

Keep all the etfs and funds. Keep regulations, warnings and information as well.

In uncertain times and perhaps in sight of overvalued markets and potentially rising interest rates, I find the Proshares TTT, TBT inverse funds to be a useful hedge to balance my portfolio against expected adverse price movements in the market. I would not feel safe investing in this market without the safety of the hedges that these inverse funds provide. If you want to regulate away bad behavior focus on short sellers and whatever is going on in Robinhood-land.

Please see comments.
Pass a regulator-imposed test of your specialized investment knowledge
-- This should be a few questions, not complex, just a couple basics.
Demonstrate a high net worth
-- Not high. $2,000 or something like that.
Get special approval from your broker
-- Not special approval, just the broker sees the $value, asks the questions, and then approves.
Attest to reading certain materials
-- Ok, kinda like options.
Go through cooling off periods during which you cant invest
-- Maybe a business day?

I am a retail investor who manages his portfolio completely independent of any outside interference, brokers included.
I would like to continue to invest freely in any product without any restrictions.
The U.S is the greatest country for investing by far, let's keep that way. Thanks!

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. they help protect (hedge) investments or seek enhanced returns, I use them as a limited part of your overall portfolio.

Please keep the rules simple and available to all.
We all must be responsible. Triple leveraged funds
can help an investment portfolio gain and build value.

As an EDUCATED retail investor, I feel the current systems in place are a bit TOO RELAXED for retail investors/traders to access complex products. But an outright ban is also very, VERY WRONG. We may need to raise the barriers somewhat by requiring education AND a simplified form of registration (certifying they understand the risks and perhaps a small registration fee to make the point stick) from the investor/trader to allow trading of complex financial products, but certainly NOT A BAN. EDUCATED traders like myself know that complex products are for TRADING, not for INVESTING.

Leverage and reverse funds are an important part of my investment strategy.

There should be no prerequisite for this .
