This is an overreach by regulatory powers.
As retail participants in the stock market, we are already having to compete with large institutions and automated algorithms.
Having ability to use inverse and leveraged instruments is one of the few ways we can level the playing field.
Please do not make these instruments inaccessible to ordinary people.
Different investment products and strategies involve different degrees of risk. So what level of risk is too much? This depends on your risk tolerance—the amount of investment risk you’re willing and able to accept—which is impacted by a variety of factors and is unique to you.
I have made over $700,000 investing in inverse and ultra funds over the last two years. I'm a highly educated investor and use the Elliott wave methodology to invest. I'm retired and have no other source of income. I couldn't make this type of return if I invested in individual stocks and bonds. In a down market, which we are in currently, I use inverse funds to make
These are public investments and should be available to the public. If someone is silly enough to invest in the market without the proper knowledge that person will most likely lose their entire investment. With that said, the market is serious stuff. Making profits in the market is only possible if we, the public, can continue to use all the various instruments available in order to make
Dear Sirs,
I have been investing in leveraged securities since 1979 and have never had a margin call. For 20 years, I traded commodities on the Chicago Futures Exchange and held a full-time job as a construction Teamster. I counsel people to not do that.

I do not need any governing body deciding for me how to invest. There didn't seem to be any concern over how retail investors spent their money in the stock market until January of 2021. Institutional investors repeatedly creating systemic risk by their gambling with derivatives are an actual imminent threat to our markets. They are the ones who need significantly more regulation and
I'm shocked and appalled at the idea of this. Why is it that the powers that be never fail at trying to crush the little guy? When I received notification from my Broker I had to call to verify because I just knew it was a scam to get my info. Is this not AMERICA? Let me tell you a little about me. I'm a High School dropout. I always wanted to be a rock star so my studies
A big portion of my portfolio is leveraged index fund and I do not like it when the government tells me I cannot investment them. The alternative for me would be much riskier individual stocks. You want to prevent ppl from risky investments by forcing them to make even riskier investment?
If my financial planner or I review a registrred ETF, Mutual Fund, stock, bonds, etc, inclusive of its prospectus for an investment and if after said review I deem it approved as a viable investment, why should the government tell me I cannot do so? Isn't it within my rights to do so?
