My money, my decision and my choice.
I want to be able to decide for myself whether a particular leveraged or inverse investment vehicle is appropriate for my investment strategy. Although I have a middle-income-level job, I do not feel that I should have to submit to some kind of FINRA-mandated means testing or other qualifying criteria to invest in leveraged or inverse investment products. .
I have invested in some of these
I have used leveraged products as a means to capitalize on market conditions. Through research, education, and constant monitoring, I was very successful. I stayed in leveraged products I understood and that were well funs (TQQQ, for example). The smaller riskier leveraged products were not for me, but that was my decision. This is the same as trading options.

Stop intruding on investor rights!
This is America and we believe in the right to participate in the markets! Back off!
There is really no good reason to ban inverse funds, period.
I am a retail investor, and have a small part of my IRA accounts that I manage myself, while placing the bulk of the funds into index funds and the like.

From time to time, I use leveraged and inverse funds. This are risky and
Use of leverage and leveraged ETFs to trade stocks is my business NOT the governments.
Stay out of my accounts!!
I dont want to lose my right to buy leverage shares
Regulators have no place to seek a product too complex for investors when the regulators have messed everything up. It is our right to use our money how we see fit and it is our risk to take contrary to what you control freaks think.
In my opinion, leveraged and inverse funds are much more straight-forward than options. It's a trading strategy that I feel makes a lot of sense and should remain an option.
All investors understand that these funds are investing in options in the associated index and that there will be decay over time.
