Inverse funds and leveraged funds are a valuable investment tool for Americans. I use them frequently. I am capable of educating myself. I fired my stock broker after he lost my money back in the bull market of the 1990s, and have been making my own investment decisions since that time. I fear government regulations are ever-expanding and will continue to restrict our rights. I oppose any
Public securities can not be considered public by restricting access to only a certain few. Leverage and inverse funds have been crucial to hedging beta risk during periods of high volatility in my portfolio. Building wealth has become hard enough for younger generations, and adding more barriers to entry past vanilla etf's, mutual funds, or single stocks disincentivizes building equity
Leveraged investments should be available to public investors, regulation on leveraged ETFs will not lower the risk of stock market investments but will rather lower the freedom of the market itself. Power will also shift from individuals to major institutions who are able to meet proposed measures. These institutions will then have even more power against common investors. Leverage will not go
Leveraged ETFs and options have a legitimate place in many retail investor portfolios and can even reduce an investors risk when used appropriately. Excluding everyday investors is an unnecessary rule - if the intent is to protect investors, there are lower hanging fruit that are riskier - crypto exchanges, Las Vegas, Tesla stock, and buying a house in Austin TX all come to mind.

I believe that to limit my ability to trade in Cryptocurrencies puts me at a disadvantage compared to investors all

These updated rules protect all parties but particularly retail investors like myself who do not have access to the same data set as large firms. I support these rule changes, a more transparent market would benefit current investors and protect the confidence of future investors in the US stock market.
Buyer Beware..... isn't that what it's all about? I've lost tons of money on supposedly reputable companies that were lying, and CEOs steal money all the time.... Ban the whole stock market if you must.... It gives no better odds than Las Vegas.... But don't think you know better than we do when you do nothing about the corporate malfeasance that goes on every day
The public should be able to invest in leveraged and inverse funds, since this will permit them to hedge during times of market uncertainty and with future stock market declines. The excesses of the FED and US Government with over $10 Trillion increase in liquidity in the money supply over the past two years will lead to a great recession and major correction in the markets. The SEC proposed rule
Hi, I’m Jon. I’d always heard that the best way to learn meaningful skills as a developer was to change jobs every four years. So, in 2012, when FINRA hired me as a junior developer, I reminded myself that this was just the first stop on my journey to build and shape a technology career.
