I have been trading 3x leveraged and inverse ETF's for many years because it allows me to go long or short without having to open a margin account. It's no different than trading any unleveraged stock, as long as you just divide your investment dollars by 2 or 3 depending on the leverage multiple. Please don't add any restrictions. It works great the way it is, and it allows people
We as individual investors should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for our family. Currently there are always warnings before we submit a leverage/ riskier trade, which I think its enough to warn people who dont understand. Each individual should be responsible for his/her own decisions. Whoever understands the risk of investments shouldnt be required to take extra time
I have been investing in the stock market for about 50 years now. I do like to use leveraged and inverse funds to maximize my profits no matter which direction the market is moving. I know and understand the risks involved with these funds, and I should not have to prove my experience with them on each trade. I think these funds should be allowed to be traded as they are right now. They should
I am an individual trader that uses leveraged and inverse funds to help finance my retirement. I have used these funds since I retired some 4-1/2 years ago. I understand the risks of these funds as it is stated directly on the trading platform that I use, TD Ameritrade. I do not believe that over-regulating these funds that assist individual traders in building wealth to be the correct approach
I have been using leveraged and inverse funds as a primary part of my trading strategy for 4 years now. The instruments do present risk to traders but investing is a risky endeavor, the risk of the products are documented, and these are adults choosing to trade using the instruments. Taking the options away, limits options for investors to manage their own risk/reward level. Much of the market is

We need the rules to actually be enforced and market makers not able to use dark pools for anything other than non-predatory market making functions. Transparency and accountability are really the primary thing. Selling order books that show liquidation prices of individual investors is insider trading. Check every single futures chart and you will find impulse retracing liquidating people at
I oppose adding restrictions to trading financial products deemed "complex" because people are ultimately responsible for managing their own money. Regulating these products would make it harder for people to maximize their returns, hedge, and speculate. Speculation is much maligned, but ultimately, it keeps markets efficient and people should have ready access to high-risk/high
Dear Regulators,
Individuals should be free to invest how they wish, without regulator claiming they know better. The legislation to ban certain types of trading to individuals limits their freedoms. There should be no expectation of tests, net worth, etc. The only requirement should be if someone has money, and wants to invest it. Leveraged funds and inverse funds are the only option for some
I should be able to choose the public investments that I determine right for me. While I appreciate the regulators intention, they should not infringe on the retail investors RIGHT to trade all publicly traded funds when the risks are well known. Inverse funds are an important investment strategy for me, especially in times of a bear market. Sorry, not my fault it isn't working out for the
