inverse trading is important for traders and the econbomy.

I manage my IRA in a Schwab account and without the ability to short utilize inverse ETF's to help hedge in this bearish environment. I have been trading for a number of years and am aware of the risk of leveraged ETF's and stick with single leverage products.

I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. I do not need these measures imposed on you.

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me. This is the United States and we pride ourselves on our freedoms. Investments should be available to everyone not just the privileged.
