I am an experienced investor and have been investing in real estate and stocks for 25+ years and I have recently discovered a more niche market investment vehicle in the leveraged ETF funds. I have a diverse portfolio of real estate, broad market ETFs, Bonds, and individual shares in companies. All of these various vehicles offer a different risk/reward ratio and I am very comfortable with that.

The proposed regulation is unnecessary and counter productive. I have been investing my own money for 40 years. I don't need assistance or restrictions from regulators. I use a leveraged ETF as an inflation hedge and it has performed very well in that function over the past year. We don't have many options to protect ourselves from inflation and your regulation would take one of the few options away.

Inverse ETFs, commodity based ETFs and alternative investment ETFs like BITO provide a simple mechanism to diversiy and hedge the market for any investor.

It’s a valuable investment tool for any investor who does not have access to highly specialized brokerage accounts with margin account.

Usually, the brokerage warns the investor about the dangers of such investments before the trade goes through.

As a mathematician working in the area of mathematical finance with an in-depth understanding of the complexities of leveraged ETFs, I am very familiar with how they work. In my experience, the companies that manage these funds, such as Direxion, are very clear and transparent about the workings and risks associated with leveraged ETFs. In my opinion there should not be any barriers to market participants' access to trade such funds.

I often make use of "complex" investments for trades, including leveraged and inverse funds. No one is forcing me to make these decisions. I am capable of making these choices and am responsible enough to accept the consequences. I'm a small investor/trader and would be seriously hurt if you change the current rules. Please do not add unnecessary, complicated regulations to trading or investing in these funds. I am totally opposed to you limiting my investment choices!
