The restrictions on buying leverage ETFs shouldn't be any more stringent than what it takes to purchase a gun in this country. You can't lose any more money in these types of investments than you can with a risky individual stock. And with leveraged ETFs, they at least offer a level of diversification depending on which one you are investing. Leveraged and inverse funds are important to
I find it troubling that you are considering making unreasonable restrictions on my ability to invest in leveraged and inverse funds, for several reasons.
