I am very much opposed to restrictions on investing in leveraged and inverse funds. These funds are the average investor's only way to protect himself/herself in market downturns. An individual's potential losses in these funds are limited to the amount of the investment made as opposed to actual shorting of securities where losses can be far greater than the investment made
Please allow qualified investors to invest in the manner they see fit.
Stop babysitting adults and let each person be responsible for their actions.
Too many rules!
One thing you can do is to not allow people to short equities unless there is an uptick.
Some genius killed that rule, creating a lot of havoc in the market.
Take care of things that helps the market be stable, not blocking people
Comments: The Brokerage firm clearly stated the risk associated with the leveraged ETF and the warning before the trade that the risk is understood and also the Risks associated with the ETF which could amplify gains or losses and the intended use for short term as well as the long term returns will not match the underlying index performance.

Comments: I love these products. I am seeing a lot of people that dont understand, or theyre trolling, or something may seem suspicious, but I am SIE certified and I only wish I had found these sooner. I traded in a eft that was fifteen percent down for the year, and corrected most of the damage in a couple days. I also remade gains from crypto losses. Personally I think options and short sales

Or you have want to effectively want to increase ones exposure to a particular short term. IF people can trade options and warrants I don't understand why this area would not be treated differently after all these
If I want to short a stock, or use a regular or inverse ETF, that is my choice. Americans are supposed to be equal, and have to the same opportunities that the more wealthy have.

Comments: Please continue to allow me access to these products such as inverse EFT's. The companies providing them have given adequate information, and I further can look up information if needed.

Dear SEC, How dare you go after these instruments. Focus more of your energy on companies which do insider trading and when you do give fines they cannot be less than the money made.
