In regards to leveraged and inverse investments: Individuals, not regulators, should be able to choose the investments that are right for them and their family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the wealthy.

After investing for a little over 10 years, my most successful years are when I started investing in leveraged ETFs. Eliminating the leveraged ETFs from the choices of investment vehicles is the wrong decision. Yes, leveraged ETFs are volatile, but so are individual securities, mutual funds, and options.
