It is very important for an informed and risk aware investor to take calculated risk. While leveraged funds are riskier than traditional stocks, funds, etc, none-the-less, they provide a very crucial diversification alpha to smart investors.
I strongly urge SEC, regulators, Congress, and everyone else involved in restricting the access to leveraged ETFs in retirement accounts.
I employ a mix of stocks, and both leveraged and non-leveraged ETFs to achieve investment goals for over 10 years. ETFs provide a facile means to establish both long and short positions when markets reach extreme levels. Non availability of inverse and leveraged ETFs would make establishing planned portfolio positions difficult, if not impossible.
I'm an adult and earned my income and the right to invest, income that I've already been taxed on mind you, the way and you the amount of risk that I choose. Ive been made aware of the risks involved and understand.
Stock market speculation is inherently not risk free. Please let me choose my level of risk and exposure.
The risks and benefits of leveraged ETFs are well known to investors. I should be able to invest in a product that I research and feel comfortable investing in. If we regulate leveraged etfs, what about regulating home purchasing (5x leverage) or the actions of Wall Street.. where large players can easily manipulate single stocks through short selling or otherwise?
Bitcoin is now a standard, conventional asset class, along with stocks, bonds, and precious metals. US citizens should be able to freely invest in bitcoin and bitcoin-tracking funds if they wish. Citizens benefit from having a greater diversity of investment options, including bitcoin and bitcoin-tracking funds. The reality of investing is that each person is responsible for their own investments
Comments:In a capitalst society such as ours, I see no reason to regulate leveraged & inverse ETF's. They are simpler than shorting stocks or using put's & calls. I have found that they correlate to their 1X base very close. Their usually is no limitations even in a retirement account. Please, please we don't need this senseless regualation. Thank you, Roger Smith
Each individual investor should be able to decide which investment suits his/her needs. There are usually articles from the brokerage firms and online. All investments have their own risk. The best of stocks can have a down side. The investing community does not need the Government or any of its bodies overlooking each individual's investments.

Dear sirs
Thank you for letting me know your consideration of leveraged ETF. I am testing an investment strategy using leveraged ETF. According to my extensive simulation, the strategy itself does not represent higher risk. But short term wise, it can fluctuate a lot. The reward is better than the market average. Therefore, the risk/ reward ratio is low.
ETF of market does not have the risk of
I strongly oppose limiting investors ability to trade leveraged and inverse funds. These can be great tools of various usages like market timing and hedging.
These funds are probably riskier than their corresponding non-leveraged funds, but there are tons of real stocks that are much more risky than these funds, so why not put limitations on those stocks?
I believe it's investors
