I take extreme exception to your proposal to limit my access to buying any particular class of public funds. This is part of my investment strategy; I employ it as a hedge in my portfolio. It does not require special training or skills to understand the potential risks and benefits of using leveraged and inverse funds. It seems more likely to me that this is just another ploy of the privileged to
You are doing the public no favors by limiting it's access to capital markets.

My portfolio would be much
I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, in the spirit of free-market capitalism. No one should have to go through any special process like passing a test before you can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds
