5/7/2022 ..Trying to freeze the market at a high - unrealistic price - will only destroy them. Lower prices are a good thing. It allows mostly young people - starting out - to establish a position at a better - more fair/value - price.
Have you noticed that markets go up and down? You should welcome vigorous price discovery.
Short sellers and inverse funds are the only force in the market that
Investors should be free to make their own decisions in where they would like to invest their money, short or long term, however risky it may be, so long as the fund is honest. Small caps or OTC is just as volatile and risky if not more. Options trading is way more risky than leveraged ETFs as well. You limit retail's tools to hedge or make large gains by stopping us from using these.
I have done very well using leveraged funds. If you merely buy low and sell high, you can make far more money. It is easier and simpler that using options, for a small fee I let the fund do that. I also like inverse funds, which provides market liquidity and it is similar to selling short, but again easier for me. Please let me decide what, where, and how to invest. Please let me and my family
I as an individual investor should be able to choose the investments that are right for me and my family, not just for the "high net-worth" accredited one-percenters. I should have to go through a process of passing a test before I can invest in public securities unless the government is willing to train individual investors like me and administer the test free of charge.
Leveraged funds are a stalwart of my investment strategy. If these are no longer available I will lose my ability to invest. These give a means for the small investor to have the ability to make income when the market is in a bear position.

What are you doing and why. This type of investment should not be only used by traders on wallstreet. All things are learned and anyone can learn how to use different investment strategies. WHY let only bankers steal on the short. This is obvious what you are trying to do. Protect bankers money. Well, you should BE working for us, any time you restrict what regular people can do you are screwing
I am already anti-capitalist. I despise the system which rewards not merit, but inherited wealth. I cannot possibly fathom why you would want to make my job so much easier- you understand that by depriving average citizens of the right to invest, you are pushing them directly into my waiting arms? I know I shouldnt interrupt my enemy while he is making a mistake, but this? I almost pity the short
I've used leveraged and inverse ETFs for decades now with no issues and I strongly oppose restriction of their use. If you are going to start choosing what public investments can and can not be made by individual investors, you will have to lay out a clear rationale for each decision and that will highly likely be perceived as arbitrary leading to multiple issues for you. If your goal
I do not support limits on leveraged or inverse funds, they provide a very useful and quite frankly safer alternative to investors like myself that choose to use these instead of options and traditional margin leverage.
They clearly indicate they are short term instruments so when used correctly can be a great tool in the tool belt of the retail investor.
I believe non traditional investment
