These leveraged funds provide outstanding trading and investment products for successfully managing my stock market investments. Individuals should have the same opportunities as the "professionals", many of whom do not perform as well as the good individual investor. There should not be barriers that prevent the average investor from participating in these products. The risks are

I use leveraged and inverse funds regularly in my investment strategy. They are an integral part of my portfolio. I am fully capable of understanding all the risks associated with these funds and have knowingly chosen to include them in my portfolio after analyzing those risks.

I am very concerned about the possible restriction to trade leveraged and inverse funds. This is an important part of my investment strategy as they help me to hedge my investments using less money. They are a limited, but critical and strategic part of my overall investment portfolio. Its not difficult to understand the risks involved especially for the way I am using it. Without them, I
