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
I believe this proposed regulation is unnecessary and an overreach. I fully understand the risks associated with leveraged and inverse ETFs and don't believe I should have to take any "tests" to prove that I understand what I am doing. I use them as part of my overall investment strategy to manage my risks and/or enhance my returns. These types of investments are only a

Writing this to let you know that I oppose the restrictions being considered to leveraged and inverse funds.

Granted, it would be ill-advised for investors to use extensive margin while investing in leveraged ETFs, I still feel existing risks are clearly indicated and should be my choice.
Leveraged funds are an important part of my investment strategy when seeking enhanced
I oppose proposed restrictions to inverse and leveraged ETFS. The reason for my opposition is that they are useful tools for hedging and as well for magnified short term gains. If there is a particular sector, underlying commodity, or index that I want exposure to, these products help me meet my objectives and help me formulate strategies to meet the objectives i have laid out for myself.

Free trade is free trade. I use inverse leveraged funds to help hedge my portfolio. In these volatile markets these are necessary tools to mitigate your personal risk. I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leverage and inverse funds.

I would like to freely invest in any funds I would like. if the fund activities are legal then everyone should have the right to choose what to invest. When we talk about risk, anything has risk.. Any stock can go to $0, too. I bought TQQQ and I like it. They invest in it for me. I just buy it and see my fund growing each day. Someday it goes down, too but that is ok. It will go back up.
I would like to oppose this rule. In my opinion, investors who are investing in these complex products know the risks already. Also brokerage companies let us informed of the risks. Whenever i try to buy a leverage fund, my broker shows warnings at multiple places in big bold red letters during the transaction. I suspect if someone "accidentally" bought these leveraged funds. I
