No one needs this to be regulated.. some people would prefer not to use inverse funds rather than options.
Your job is not to protect us from these vehicles. I use inverse etfs and have for the last 15 years. They are a productive tool.
It is a persons own responsibility to know your own risks and not necessary to have a big brother. If a person is willing to take the risk of investing they
I am an adult who should not be treated as a child. I should have the sole right to decide what investments I take part in and not regulators. I have started trading from scratch and educated myself very easily from the resources available to from my broker. I fully understand the risks I am taking and should have the right to take them without regulator permission or requirements. The PDT rule
You people should concentrate on regulating the markets so that corrupt politicians don't pocket all the cash. I am an investor in leverage funds, inverse index funds, and various short ETFs, some of which are risky. I am capable of deciding what to do with my own money.

There is no good reason that investors of any kind should be segregated and barred from any type of public investment vehicles, especially not on account of available funds. This rule banning certain investors from inverse and leveraged investment vehicles would limit individual investment strategies and only benefit large institutions.
