The use of inverse and leveraged funds are a part of my investment strategy. Current regulations and requirements that are in place are proper and necessary. The brokerages are required to warn of the inherent risks as well as obtain written statements from clients that these risks are understood and accepted. LEAVE THINGS THE WAY THEY ARE.

Most of us can't afford to short stocks or Index funds, so inverse funds are the only way to profit in a down market. Taking away that option is a terrible idea.

I've been investing in the stock markets, bond market, I've traded options and futures as well as currencies for 4 decades, and I do not want to be limited in any way as it relates to investing for example in the stock market if I decide I want to leverage long or short positions or use inverse funds to reach my investment goals.
