Inverse funds are important to the uneducated investor to protect their account in difficult times. If the fool wants to lose their money this way, let them do it. Unless you want t all to go to lotto tickets

there are a lot of investors who are invested in this. whatever you do make sure the rights of the investors who are invested are not under threat

Having the ability to invest on leveraged and/or inverse ETFs is an integral part of my investment strategy as it allows me to take advantage of market volatility and or hedge against it. These funds provide an easy mechanism to optimize returns and reduce risk. As with any other investment product, one needs to be familiar with its characteristics, liquidity and inherent risks. I dont believe regulators should do investors homework to protect themthe focus should be on the ETF funds providers to ensure their disclosures are transparent and complete.

Individual investors should have the right to invest in leveraged products to use as a hedge against their portfolios just as much as Wall Street.

Last time I checked this was a free country. These restrictions are not warranted. Doing options - calls and puts carries more risk. Letting Proshares do this for investors makes sense.

No more regulations!

I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. Especially with a cash account with no margin.

I should be able to choose the investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. Regulators have no idea of my financial needs and especially right now, it is imperative that I get the ability to invest in a declining market.

I should be able to choose my investments and apply leverage when needed despite my net worth or status. I am perfect capable of understanding the risks of leveraged funds. The risks are very high, but no worse or better than the risks of investing in other highly volatile securities like individual stocks and commodity etfs. Investing in Facebook would've lost me 50% of my investment in one day.

I think a lot of this regulation is being generated to disenfranchise the retail investor. Please allow "regular" working people to continue diversifying their portfolios with products that may seem too "complex" for them to understand. Putting burdensome and elitist restrictions on financial products that empower the middle class is a form of slavery that is not representative of this progressive day and age. My investments across brokerages and platforms, as a middle-class person of color, is integral to my portfolio growth as well as my personal growth.
