I am a small individual investor, inverse funds help me hedge my long investments. The firms and wealthy can and do use options and short sales to hedge, but I don't want to take on that kind of individual risk. Please consider this.
I WOULD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY/SELL THE INVERSE FUNDS. I USUALLY DO NOT DO THIS OFTEN BUT WOULD TRY ONCE EVERY NOW AND THEN. IF I DO NOT HAVE THE OPTION, THEN I WOULD DEFINITELY LOOSE THE CHANCE TO INVEST THE WAY I WOULD THINK IS BETTER FOR SHORT TIME INVESTMENT.

Stop this silliness now. This proposed regulation does more harm than good.
It is ridiculous to keep smaller investors from being able to take a short or leveraged position in the markets. I have made a good deal of money that I otherwise wouldn't have without these tools. Why should only wealthy people have access to these markets?
