This is another rule that is supposed to be good for the retail investor but is awful for the retail investor. Like the $25,000 limit set to day trading, this is just another tactic to keep the average American unable to even get a chance to get out of the day to day drudgery of paycheck to paycheck.

I oppose restrictions to invest in leveraged and inverse funds and ETFs. I have an MBA in finance and understand how the inverse and leveraged fumnds work. Inverse funds are an important part of my investment process when the market is trending down. I use leveraged funds in strong uptrends and in strong downtrends. I am currently using leveraged inverse funds as a hedge to my long investments.

The leveraged etfs provide a chart of the positives of only 33% leveraged. Futures are 5 to 1 on the SP 500 and out of the money options are super high. All investors need to be in etfs and zero mutual/hedge funds. A small percentage of a portfolio
I am totally against these measures. They prevent us from getting ahead.
