I have been investing since 1969. During that time, I have made many mistakes, some quite costly, but from each of them, I’ve learned something. I’ve never learned anything by being right. If regulation such as you are now proposing had been in effect then, I would have been prohibited from making the choices that taught me to be a better investor. People are not protected by this kind of

Failure to Deliver should not exist. The basic rules of supply and demand are betrayed by this concept. If a Christie’s auction failed to deliver the auctioned item, but sent a replica that is treated and “valued” just as with the original, both of their prices are then diluted. Nefarious intent lies behind the semi-rational “because we need liquidity” argument for naked shorting and strategic

I invested in crypto for my future retirement, as I couldnt afford to get into the stock market having always been a low income agricultural worker. I have been a hard working, taxpayer since the age of 16. I am 55 now and expect to have to work another 25 years and cant count on Social Security to be there at that time.

Our government should support a free market economy. To limit individual investors from inverse ETFs, is just another way to force American citizens into holding declining stocks (and losing money) while large investment firms make billions. I deserve the right to evaluate an investment, the risks, the rewards, and make a decision based on my research. Limiting the vehicles I have to generate
The investor should be responsible for making their investment decisions not some official. Leverage funds have great risk and thats a risk I am willing to take. All investments have risk, Enron collapsed, was a risk. A normal stock shows a miss on earnings and drops 30%, Netflix lost a small number of total customers and drops 40%. Can you protect all my investments, no, nor should you.
If the irresponsible can't blow their money on these, they'll find another way - penny stocks, get rich schemes, etc. However, the responsible have spent years researching and educating themselves to responsibly and intelligently incorporate these into their portfolios. If you take these away, the responsible will have to work harder and research more for other investment
The stock market will undergo a difficult period in the coming years. At times, it will be necessary for investors to buy protection to hedge against market declines. Regulations that prevent retail traders from hedging their investments through inverse funds will ensure that large institutional investors profit and protect their investments during market selloffs while retail investors will be
I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I shouldnt have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I understand the risks of leveraged and inverse funds just like the common
