Comments: I like leveraged and inverse funds. Each time I buy/sell, Charles Schwab gives me lots of warning about buying those types of ETFs. When I look at the fact sheets or prospectus of these type of funds, I see it very clearly that they are primarily designed for day trading and lots of warnings. I vote you let investors use "complex products" like these without restrictions.
Why do you regulators hate retail trading? Why isnt the average joe allowed to make money? Why can only you guys? Stop look at the middle class as numbers.

More regulations will greatly limit the participation of the general public in such investments and would lead to these investments only being available
Any restrictions on the right of the general public to invest or trade leveraged or inverse funds should be as limited as possible. Otherwise, the market becomes more off limits and only for the elite in the the general public's eyes. Educational requirements, made as simple as possible, perhaps would be helpful, but any other restrictions, especially those that limit the general public from
