Regulating inverse funds is another assault on the individual investor. It is hard enough to compete against large funds and billionaires but taking away the advantage of inverse ETFs which do not require the investor to hold a margin account is an assault on freedom. In addition, the fess saved from not have to pay to borrow stocks are another way to hurt the little guy. Inverse and leverage
If the irresponsible can't blow their money on these, they'll find another way - penny stocks, get rich schemes, etc. However, the responsible have spent years researching and educating themselves to responsibly and intelligently incorporate these into their portfolios. If you take these away, the responsible will have to work harder and research more for other investment
I am currently planning my retirement. I use inverse and leverage funds to help build for my retirement. These funds are bought and sold just like stocks and gives people the flexibility to choose how, when, how much etc. to invest based on personal decisions and risk assessment by the individual.

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
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 oppose regulators limiting trades on inverse and leveraged etf's and stocks where the investors are fully aware of the risks. These options allow small retail investors the opportunity to compete with large banks and funds in a way that would otherwise not be possible helping to keep the playing field level. I primarily use these to hedge my long positions in volatile markets. It
Writing this to let you know that I oppose the restrictions being considered to leveraged and inverse funds.
I like having these funds available to help with risk mitigation of my stock portfolio and to take measured exposure to offset growing inflation costs.
I am familiar with the inherent risks of using these funds and don't want to be forced to take a test to continue to use them
What I do with my money is my choice. It is an overreach to tell me what I can and can't invest in.
Please do NOT restrict investing in leveraged funds.
If restrictions are put in place and I am forced to sell a stock at a loss, that loss will be replaced by those that vote for it.
Do not push this bill through unless you have millions of dollars to pay back your constituents if there
I've been investing my own money in the stock market since I was 10 years old. Please don't limit what I can invest in. I currently use leveraged and inverse funds, trade options, etc. People who invest in these are already given warnings and pointed to material to read and learn more. We don't need additional regulation. I'm quite capable of investing my money
I am a retired business owner and a 30+ year stock market investor. I am very capable of investing in Leveraged and Inverse Funds. I should not have to have a minimum net worth or go through any special tests before being able to invest in public securities. Please do not regulate or put limitations on Leveraged or Inverse Funds. This will greatly reduce my ability to reach my financial goals to
