I believe it is up to each individual to perform their own due diligence before investing in a stock, etf, etn or mutual fund.
Leveraged and inverse funds offer opportunities to those that handle their own investments, burdensome rules and regulations will serve to limit access by the independent investors.
I had been investing in stock market for long time. I have the knowledge and means to invest the way I want without government regulators telling me what to do. I have used leveraged funds to enhance my returns. Therefore, I'm oppose this governmental interference.
I use leveraged and inverse funds routinely and have done very well, so long as I hedge leveraged stock funds with leveraged bond funds. Having back-tested rules to guide the balancing is key. Please do not interfere with my attempts to improve my model.
Leveraged ETFs are a simpler way of safely leveraging up a portion your stock and bond allocation compared to a margin loan or pledged asset line. I am for the continued existence of 2X and 3X leveraged ETFs so I can set my own asset allocation.
I wouldn't be investing if it wasn't for ETF's. They are great for day trading 10k dollars. I should be allowed to take a 3x risk in order to get a 3x reward. This regulation directly attacks the small retail investors and helps gigantic hedge funds. The stock market is for everyone. This is America!

This is severely troublesome. I, Brent Rusinoski rely on free trading including inverse stocks because I actually invest hundreds of hours of research and willing to lose everything so I can potentially make a profit. Who are you to tell me I can or cannot do such a thing.
I have watched the so called "meme" stocks have massive inflow over outflow and still drop like rocks. This is bizarre to me as a retail investor. I might be ignorant about this but I think it warrants investigation. Best, Richard
Regarding AMC class A. If retail owns the majority of the float how is this stock being manipulated unless it’s with synthetic shares. How does one even create such a thing. We need transparency in the market. This needs to investigated.
The premise of having public securities is the amount of available information to make an intelligent and informed decision. Leveraged ETFs come with enough information. There are stocks from other countries listed that do not adhere to standard accounting practices or disclosures. Why target Leveraged ETFs and not the other investments?
