If I want to risk money that I work hard for on any investment that is my choice. If it goes to 0 that's on me. How about looking into Congress and their "investments'' I do not support this and would rather invest in nothing. The attack on our freedom of speech being attacked is one thing but I'll take every investment I have in the stock market and otherwise and choose
I understand that Benjamin Franklin started trading stocks in the early days of the republic. Investing in other people's ideas, products, innovations, designs is an essential freedom - though risky it might be - for citizens of this land. Do not meddle with it, thinking we need protection from risk. This tendency to regulate and socially engineer everything will collapse-in on itself and

The market is already over manipulated by government regulations and the enforcement agencies, including the Federal Reserve. If you are looking for a more open and fair market, start by taking away the right to invest in individual stocks from the US House of Representatives and the Senate
Comment on SEC Proposed Rule #S7-24-15: I am a retail investor who has used leveraged ETF's for the past 12 years. I do not trade in these instruments but have purchased them over time, and have continued to hold them (all for at least five years).
