I manage my IRA in a Schwab account and without the ability to short utilize inverse ETF's to help hedge in this bearish environment. I have been trading for a number of years and am aware of the risk of leveraged ETF's and stick with single leverage products.
With a new year come new financial challenges, resolutions, and investment risks. On this episode, FINRA’s Head of Investor Education shares insights on leveraging market trends and tools to achieve your money goals in 2025.
I am attorney and enjoy the access to financial products to trade/invest on my own. I like to think and analyze trends (short and long term). The leveraged products are easily understood (e.g. prospectus available) and are less volatile than futures that involve middlemen.
I WOULD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY/SELL THE INVERSE FUNDS. I USUALLY DO NOT DO THIS OFTEN BUT WOULD TRY ONCE EVERY NOW AND THEN. IF I DO NOT HAVE THE OPTION, THEN I WOULD DEFINITELY LOOSE THE CHANCE TO INVEST THE WAY I WOULD THINK IS BETTER FOR SHORT TIME INVESTMENT.
I am a small individual investor, inverse funds help me hedge my long investments. The firms and wealthy can and do use options and short sales to hedge, but I don't want to take on that kind of individual risk. Please consider this.

We do not need less choices as investors we need more, especially short term investments that can help us use a smaller amount of capital to hedge our investments. Keep leveraged and inverse funds. Thank you.
Let us invest our monies as we see fit. I want to be able to manage my own portfolio. No one cares more about my interest than me.
Brokers should not be able to lent out our shares and use it for illegal short selling. Many brokers have this program, and some of them opt-in to lent out our shares even if the customers agreed not to.
Comments: i understand that leveraged products are for short term trading and have increased volatility. If used correctly within a portfolio they can actually reduce risk. Limiting access to these products would damage my ability to create a well doversified portfolio
