I am writing concerning the proposed restricting investors access to complex products such as ProShares inverse funds. I have been using such funds as a hedge on my common stocks, so far with great success. The decline in my stocks has been more than offset by gains on my inverse bond ETFs. As a small investor my only access to derivatives is through such funds and restricting access would
What you are proposing is completely unethical and will only exacerbate the already growing wealth gap in America. A leveraged S&P 500 fund is an excellent vehicle growing wealth. Even people with just a few bucks in their Robinhood account can invest in it. You should drop your support for this bill for the same reason you wouldn't support the government doing this for
I believe that everyone should have the option to trade whatever they desire on the market as long as they understand the risk toward the investment. Simply taking away the options to trade leverage stocks would be too much intervention from the central government. I believe restricting what stock or fund the common people are allowed to trade would violate the idea of a free market. It is
It is none of your business what I choose to invest in, and you are not some god-like incredibly talented people. You are just typical government employees trying and failing to appear smarter than the rest of us. We do NOT need you or your rules to "protect" us from investment risks.
We all understand the stock market has become a casino which the SEC refuses to properly
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. These instruments should be available to the public, and not just a privileged few. They are an important part of investment strategy that can help me hedge/ protect my stocks investments, and sometimes help me achieve enhanced returns when I use them as a limited part of my overall portfolio. I should not have to go

First, trading leveraged ETFs is a way to use less expenses but protect one's assets under risky environment if one doesn't know how to trade options. Secondly, while options require approval and have different levels, leveraged ETFs do not have same attributes as options such as losing all premiums or
I manage my own portfolio. This allows me to adjust my investments when our leaders make stupid and ill advised decisions which is happening now! We do not need more regulations or restrictions! We need less!
My concern not only applies to stock trading but also to the new crypto currency trading and investing!
The creators are doing a good job making it transparent and understandable. It is
I understand your desire to protect investors but you really cannot stop inexperienced people from gambling in a casino or buy penny penny stocks or high risk SPAC IPOs or Mime stocks. Let free market teach the lesson and let not the government regulate. Ok to regulate to some extent the retirement accounts but non retirement accounts should not be regulated. You may regulate some ETFs like TQQQ
These types of funds are crucial to retirement accounts that are not eligible for margin. Inverse ETF's give you the ability to protect yourself from downside risk, which is important because one is not able to put on any short positions in a retirement account.... and sometimes regular cash accounts too!
Inverse and leveraged ETF's are in all of my portfolios, because they

I have been trading in the stock market for decades. I hope you would agree that cash is a position if you are investing in the stock market. Sometimes, like now in the current market, a large cash position may be advantageous to maintaining ones wealth.
Likewise, the use of leveraged ETFs in certain sectors or even inverse or leveraged inverse ETFs in other sectors could be positions as
