This restriction would be outrageous! Don't do this.
I strongly subject to regulators determining how and where I should be allowed to invest my own money. I have 4 college degrees, 2 bachelor degrees 2 masters degrees including an MBA. I run $100 million multi state company managing an endowment in excess of $50 million. It doesnt seem necessary or appropriate for regulators to make a blanket determination that personal investors should be
Leveraged EFTs are an important part to my portfolio. With them I am able to carefully gain exposure to the market at a reduced portion of my total invested capital.

Enough of this Nanny State regulation! Anyone investing in inverse and and leveraged funds knows they risk losing money the same as there is a risk with most investments.

Leveraged and inverse funds are great investment tools for most investors. They really only need a basic understanding of the market and economics. More unique regulations are not required and could negatively impact the benefits of these tools without preventing the negative consequences of investing in the market. Investing in the market has has inherent risk. There are many ways to lose
Although it might be good intention to enforce more rules and regulation for leveraged and inverse ETFs. The enforcement could create unfair conditions for investors. Leveraged and inverse ETFs might have their own unique characteristics. But once put on the market and traded freely by market participants, the market force will help regulate behaviors of investors. All investments have risk. And
I am fully aware of how these work and choose to accept greater risk on a small portion of my investments.
