I am deeply disturbed by the proposed regulation limiting access to leveraged and inverse ETFs (which are publicly-traded securities) to those with high net worth who pass a specialized regulatory exam and then jump through a series of administrative and timing-related hoops.
Leveraged and inverse ETFs are one of the few methods that the little guy has in order to protect his or her investments
I strongly oppose this proposed rule. Having managed my own investments for years, I am well aware of the dangers and potential benefits of leveraged and inverse funds. They have been an important part of my investment portfolio for years. I choose to manage my own risk subject to my own investing objectives, and deeply oppose the government regulators trying to manage them for me and others
I believe that inverse funds are necessary to effectively manage my portfolio. As an individual investor it can be very challenging to hedge against market volatility and large draw-downs in the market. Inside retirement accounts, I have very few tools to hedge my portfolio, shorting and options are generally not allowed. That leaves buying of inverse ETFs as one of the few options to provide
It is absolutely unfair that you would limit the ability of people to invest in an inverse fund or any stocks in general. This country was built on freedom. Dont restrict the people!
The ability to purchase inverse ETF's is necessary to obtain gains when the stock market goes down. Let me decide which investments are best for me.

Well, where should I start. I haven’t been trading long, approximately two years, but in that short time it’s become completely clear that every rule/restriction set in place benefits hedge funds and short traders. Dark pool is an absolute mind blowing joke. Shorts can just trade large order stocks back and forth, with no transparency, and drive the price downwards at any given time. That’s just
The revelations of opacity around short selling, trade settlement, and unlit off-exchange trading is deeply troubling and an abomination to the ideals of free and transparent capital markets. The delay and self reporting of short interest, coupled with lack of meaningful deterrents like imprisonment or material fines (fining Robinhood $70 million for their role in the January Gamestop shenanigans
Good day, In response to your request, I know a small part of the issue is the shorting problem of stocks. While I support more immediate reporting requirements the issue is naked shorting as well as mislabeling the short as Long's, using the dark market to manipulate the pricing of stocks, Synthetic shares being created for price manipulation, and other shorting issues being used by market
Shorting stocks should be illegal! It is only a way to manipulate price! If you wanna play you gotta pay!!!
