I have been trading and investing my own account for over 10 years now. If I want to buy these leveraged funds with my own hard earned money its my choice. Theres risk in all investments and as an adult with her own money I should be able to choose if I want to buy these leveraged funds or not. Why would I have to get special approval and all the ideas being thrown out there to buy these. Just
I use a 2X leveraged SSO ETF for my core S&P500 holding, which frees up cash so I can trade a few small positions and hold a bit more cash. I also have used a small position in the inverse leveraged TBT bond ETF to temporarily offset my core bond ETF holdings so I don't need to sell them and then buy them back later. None of this is high risk, and taking this away would hurt
I oppose any restriction on my right to invest in public investments how I deem fit. It is MY MONEY NOT YOURS!

If Inverse funds are eliminated then the ability to short
Over the last couple of years, leveraged and inverse ETF became a trendmedously useful tool for hedging my overall investment portfolio. There are times where I just cannot send my core holdings, and inverse ETFs became a very useful tool for hedging, especially in IRA accounts.

I should not be forced to go through a specific test to be able to trade any securities I want. As an individual I am capable of making my own decisions. Cryptocurrency strategy is important for my long term financial planning
Dear Sir/Madam, As an investor, I want to 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 not just the privileged. If I cannot trade those funds (e.g. TQQQ, SQQQ, etc) as needed, I probably have to take on a lot of loss and make huge changes to my investment strategies which also impact significantly on my
So I have used leveraged and inverse ETFs for approximately 10 years as a way to channel my investing when I believe a certain segment of the market has been oversold/overbought.
