I have owned ProShares for many years. I added it to my retirement fund after it had been doing well in my mothers retirement fund where that holding was helpful for my mom's needs.
I find a ProShares holding (SSO) to still be good in my asset allocation.
There is no way that I have even considered any allocation in crypto funds, an area that does need research, appropriate oversight.
Leveraged ETFs are no more risky than options and can act as risk reduction and diversification as part of a larger strategy.
Allowing investors to buy single stocks is risky as well, why not ban buying those to protect investors?
It's ludicrous to expect return of any kind without risk, that is the name of the game.
Above all, people should be free to make their own investment
I am often amazed by the selection of investment vehicles available to the average investor. As seasoned investor with almost 22 years of investing experience, I fully appreciate my freedom to choose which investments I make. Some products in question are a regular part of my well planned investment strategy. I am against the idea of restrictions on investments or requiring additional
Having a balanced portfolio is important to being able to have a long term investment strategy. By limiting my ability to choose leveraged or inverse funds you place my future at risk. I am well able to read and understand the risks associate with investing. I see this move as away for the political elite and the rich to protect their wealth but take away the ability for me to protect my

I am a highly educated adult with decades of trading and investing experience including venture capital and angel investing. Don't pretend that your regulations are protecting me. I fully understand the risks and am prepared for potential loss. Get out of my hair and let me go make money. The leveraged investment vehicles happen to be working incredibly well for me. Freedom America, not
DO NOT RESTRICT OR OTHERWISE HINDER MY ACCESS TO LEVERAGED AND INVERSE ETFs.
I should be able to freely choose my risk tolerance as well as methods of hedging my risks and enhancing my returns. I should not be required to go through any special process to use leveraged or inverse funds. They are valuable tools in my toolbox to adjust my risk based on market conditions and portfolio.
I use leveraged and inverse funds to offset other trades I'm making all the time. Please do not take them away from all us people who are trying to make enough to retire without having to work well into our seventies. This should not be something you decide. It should be up to the Investor, not someone who has no idea what is best for someone else.
It is important to allow investors to use leveraged and inverse funds in their portfolios. These add an opportunity to participate in a sound and well managed personal investment effort to be successful. Brokerages provided valued information and warning about these produces to their clients.
Individual investors put a lot of time and effort to understand L&I Funds. I know that I do
I agree that there need to be guardrails in place to protect inexperienced investors from using leveraged and inverse funds as high risk gambles that could blow up their accounts, but I also think that these types of funds add value to the market as well as liquidity.
