As a smaller investor (net worth <$1,000,000), I find that there is great value in being able to trade with a leveraged product. By using a leveraged product that does not require me to use personal margin, I can keep myself debt free, use a leveraged product, obtain the benefit of either rising or falling markets, and hedge long or short. I trade and focus on the S&P 500 only.
Once again, when the democracts take power all they want to do is take away trading options for the guy. I don't have a pension like you people, us out here have to save and invest to secure our retirements. Now you want to stop the little guy from trading complex products - Proshares. I am currently using these to offset the losses from the market sell offs. Otherwise I have sit back
With a paternalistic misguided view that you are protecting retail, you are in fact restricting risk management actions that can be taken by retail. And in the middle of a correction! Inverse ETFs are liquid and can be sized appropriately while selling covered calls cannot be. And institutions are allowed to trade options during hours retail is not, further impeding my risk management efforts.
Dear Sir or Madam:
I strongly oppose the idea to prevent people from trading leveraged ETFs, such as TQQQ, FNGU.
Please read the research paper "Leverage for the Long Run - A Systematic Approach to Managing Risk and Magnifying Returns in Stocks", which can be found over Internet. That paper researched data from 1928-2015, and found that: although in a max drawdown, the S&

I want to have freedom to choose my investments, there is disclosure of risk already before any "risky" asset can be purchased.
I do NOT support further requirements to trade these securities, I should be the one making decisions about risk I am willing to take.
Leveraged and inverse funds play significant role in my trading strategy and investment strategy and can not be
I oppose the proposed restrictions on leveraged or inverse funds. To me, those funds are invaluable in allowing me sometimes invest in a diversified index simulating single stock performance but without single stock risk, especially during earnings season where price gap downs can occur. They also help me easily maintain my portfolio value in market downturns. Please allow me to continue trading
I strongly oppose any regulation on trading leveraged and inverse funds. I use them extensively to build wealth and create an income stream which my wife and I live on. Like any investment vehicle, these carry certain risks. However, I am ok with the risks because I harness the added power they give my trading strategies. It is much easier to profit trading them than individual stocks. I have
