I am an individual investor and I understand the risk associated with leveraged ETFs. I should be allowed to make decision regarding investments, without paternalistic restrictions.
Limiting access to investment vehicles (such as leveraged ETFs) puts retail investors at a disadvantage, relative to institutional investors.

We should the right to invest what we want with the knowledge of knowing we invest at our own risk. I disagree with any regulations for limiting our right. US market is a free market which government should stay out of it.
It is not your job to tell us what we cant Invest in on the stock exchange! Leveraged ETFs were created to trade! If I want to put my hard earned capital at risk in a leveraged ETF I have the right to! Its my money!
Comments: Anybody ever hear of free market anymore? Don't restrict my access to Leveraged and inverse funds. They play an important role in hedging my risk from time to time. Leave things alone please. thomas clark
Hi there,
I fully understand the risk I am investing and this is an extra money which I don't need to use until I retire so hope you don't restrict the ability to invest leveraged ETFs. I want to manage it by myself.
Hope you understand.
Government regulators do not know and should not choose which investment vehicles are right for my family. I am capable of understanding the risks associated with leveraged ETFs and inverse funds, and making judgment calls on whether to invest without regulatory oversight.
We are not children and we understand our risks just fine. It is crazy to limit purchase of securities like upro or sso. Many of us successfully hold small portions of our funds in these securities. Let us make money too.
I should be able to choose the investments that are right for me based on my personal risk tolerance. Leveraged funds are important to my investment strategy and should be my personal consideration and not the regulators. These investment should be available to all the public and not just the privileged.
I invest some of my funds in inverse funds. I am not a big trader. These funds help me invest for my future. I know all the risks of trading these funds and others and I shuold be the one who makes the decision on what I invest in - not Regulators!
