The stock market is a way to invest in the Future of the United States. Over the course of the history of the U.S. Stock market, it has trended upward. Thus on a long term time scale, the use of margin on an index tracking fund will generate higher overall returns than through pure capital allocation.
When developing my investment portfolio, I ran numerous variations of Monte-Carlo Simulations
I would like the right to invest in my best interest - I am a small investor that can only invest small amount of money each week and I find that these inverse funds works perfectly. I don't find them to be anymore volatile than most tech stocks trading on the NASDAQ. I am not a day trader - I buy these inverse funds to hold depending on what I believe the economy will do.

I'm against any Rule/Law which makes me go through special training to invest in Public Offerings.... also, the ETF I'm invested in is part of my Long Term Investment Strategy.... and it would be unfair to my Future Position in the Stock Market.... Thank you for your consideration.
I have been investing in the stock an commodities markets since I graduated from the USC school of business in 1973. I have been investing in these markets for decades using leverage and inverse funds and do not need any regulations to help me at this point. Our markets should remain free and open.
Investing in stocks, real estate and any other legally available forms should not be restricted to retail investors only. The individual should be restricting his/her own according to his risk and benefit. If the government limits the access to leveraged and inverse funds to only the retail investors, it creates an unfair field,
Dear Regulators,
Please dont put more limitations on my ability to buy the funds. Leveraged and inverse funds are so important to my investment strategies when the stock market is going down like right now. I should be able to choose the funds and the manner to invest.
Thank you.
Given the horrible performance of the stock and bond markets this year, it is incredible that the government would attempt to limit, or make more difficult, access to products that can be used to hedge positions. This sends a clear message that individual investors are disadvantaged relative to large, politically powerful market players. This is a terrible idea.
Comments: I purchased $80,000 of FAS in a client account prior to Wells banning it in 2008. We did not trade the position and recently sold it for $1,000,000. The position was paid for in full and not leverage. It beat holding individual bank stocks, by triple. Leveraged funds if used conservatively fulfill a need. Keep them.
