I have used inverse and leveraged stocks for many years to help keep me afloat in down markets. There should be no idiotic process to determine my ability to invest in them. I, not you, should be able to choose which public investments are right for me and my family. And not just the privileged few!
Please do NOT make any regulations or changes to the ways leveraged funds are traded. Especially with the recent downturn of the stock market, you would take away people's chances to recover from the recent downfall, and regulations would cost individuals thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars, per person.
Leveraged funds are better than buying stocks on margin. I understand the risks and shouldn't be punished. Additionally, having leveraged funds acts as a hedge against some trades. If you want to police the market, ban options trading which is far more intricate and can empty an account in hours.
I do not want you to regulate further my right to purchase stocks, bonds, nor bitcoin on my own accord. I am smart enough to do the research. To regulate THIS would be like regulating people's abiliry to play the lotto, expecting them to take courses about the poor odds!
Hard working Americans, Retail Investors and those who were not born with a silver spoon only want two things: Transparency in the Stock Market and accountability.

We are the people and we demand change! These past few
SPAC "units" often consist of shares and warrants — or a fraction of a warrant. The terms of these warrants can vary greatly. Be sure you understand the terms of the specific warrants you are considering as well as the risks associated with the offering.
Please do not restrict my rights to choose what I invest in. Any publicly traded stock should be just that. Public. If I want to buy it I should not have to pass any kind of test. I am just as smart as any regulator and am able to make my own investing decisions.
There are plenty of warnings regarding the use of leverage with stock market investing. As a manager and individual investor, the disclosure and disclaimer hoops are already plentiful. This issue is less significant than the investor confusion created by dual licensing of brokers as RIA reps and Series 7 agents. The BIC rules didn't reduce the confusion.
Thanks for listening! As a long time holder of AMC, it is the most blatantly obviously manipulated stock ever to be seen. Yet everyone involved is scared to dig deep nervous as to what they may find. All we ask is for a true, fair and transparent market! Thank you!
