Investing in publicly traded securities is an individual investors right and they are fully accountable for the results (positive or negative). You may ask them to sign an additional waiver / acknowledgment of the risks but you should not restrict them. Additionally, You may put disclosure requirements on these leveraged and inverse funds to improve transparency to the investors. As a regulatory
I believe individuals can and should do proper research and use their own abilities to assess risk exposure. The ability to trade inverse and leveraged funds is indispensable and key to holding a balanced portfolio or responding to volatility in the market. Without inverse funds I personally would have to pull my assets out of the market to react to current and possible future market conditions.
I should have the right to invest in public traded leveraged and inverse these investments should not be for the privileged nor should I have to go thru a special process. I am a trained electrical engineer and quite capable of understanding these instruments. With these types of investments, it does not require me to tie up large sums of money and allows me to hedge against corrections and bear
I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST. The day trading restrictions and wash sales rules have already made it very unfair for little guys like me in comparison to institutes and hedge funds.

I support transparency in short reporting process and accountability. In cases such as the Robinhood stopping trade on AMC have created a distrust for the market and weaken the economy for all. Making data available in a single place will help restore some of the trust lost into the institution and improve confidence in our economy as whole.
All these "considerations" are excellent and much needed. Since their is a loser on the end of every trade you really have to level the playing field. Secondly the public can't rely on the system to protect them from manipulation and greed. Enforcement of these rules would go a long way towards fixing that.
