Leveraged and Inverse funds provide me with a unique capability to both hedge market risks and provide a balanced portfolio. As an individual investor, I understand the risks associated with these and other products.

The market is currently stacked against a small investor because the entry is regulated by experience and wealth (not behavior). For example, the day trade rule takes a small account investor and takes away trading flexibility that they get with a bigger account. Leveraged funds (properly used) help offset this.

I use leveraged and inverse funds to hedge my investments as well as in order to seek better returns. They are a limited portion of my portfolio. I have read all the appropriate documents related to their risks and I have accepted such risk in a responsible manner. Any regulation on such funds would negatively affect me by restricting my investment opportunities and options. Such opportunities should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

Leveraged and inverse ETFs are important to my investment strategy because I don't know how to trade options or short the stocks. It's easy to understand and easy to buy and sell. Please don't take it away from us. Otherwise I will have harder time to accumulate enough savings for my retirement. Please leave it alone, there are tremendous reasons for leverage and inverse ETFs to exist in the financial market.
