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 find it VERY intrusive and limiting to deny individuals with small capital the opportunity to invest in leveraged funds. These funds are professionally managed, providing defined risks to the investor, and should be viewed no differently than a mutual fund with risk and reward based upon a fixed investment strategy that actually limits risk to the investor while providing access to securities
It is my belief that it is my right as an American to choose the public investments that are right for me. I should not have to go through a special process to invest in leveraged or inverse funds.

In a rising rate environment in particular bonds are
I totally disagree with the proposal to regulate leveraged and inverse ETF's. They should be available to everyone, not just high net worth individuals. I understand the risks and use them strategically as a small fraction of my overall portfolio. I do not need anyone telling me what to do, or having to prove myself capable.
