I absolutely think that this proposal to regulate or eliminate the ability of investors like me to invest in leveraged and inverse funds will hurt me and many others. These funds are NOT more risky than buying many individual stocks. The choice to invest in these funds should be made by investors not a government agency.
It's on the diligence of the investor to know what they are investing in. If you believe buying and selling leveraged ETF's is too risky for investors what about regular stocks? Should retail investors take tests to see if they can trade public securities? The market is speculation, there is always risk.
Hello, I understand that the markets carry inherent risk. I believe that if I myself am comfortable assuming that risk with the understanding that my investment may go to a $0 value then I should be free to invest in what I choose. Stocks are not a secured investment. I see no difference in purchasing shares of leveraged funds.
I am vehemently opposed to limiting current investment vehicles. Better attention to be paid to existing companies who are not reporting accurately (ex: Twitter and TSLA). Anyone using leveraged ETF's are educated enough to understand potential risks. The same for any listed stock on any exchange.
I oppose restrictions on the right to invest in public investments. Please let me choose the public investments that are right for me and my family.

Hello, I am discouraged to know that there are regulations and restrictions being proposed that would severely hurt my investment strategy.

I (not regulators) know my financial situation, investment time horizon, and how I want to structure my portfolio to meet my financial goals. I should be able to choose investments that are right for me and my family without government interference.
Leveraged funds are an important component of how my portfolio is structured, and I shouldn't have to go through any special process like
I am opposed to FINRA restricting my ability as a private citizen to purchase securities that are currently available and may continue to be available to institutions. I doubt the funds would go away they would just be blocked for retail and available for insiders once again tipping the scales in favor of the market makers. These funds help to take positions without using margin or assuming
During my 40 plus years of trading and investing for both short and long term profits, I utilize both leveraged and inverse trading vehicles to balance my families portfolios in volatile markets. These are important vehicles which provide that investment strategy in balancing market action.
Regulators should NOT interfere nor have the authority to select/provide what investments are available to
ProShares offer a choice to investors. Disclosure of risks associated with ProShare's ETFs are well documented. Communication is regularly provided and easily reviewed by the public at large. Introducing illiquidity to the marketplace does not benefit existing shareholders and rather hurt small investors like myself. I currently invest in leveraged funds to take advantage of short to
