I understand your desire to protect investors but you really cannot stop inexperienced people from gambling in a casino or buy penny penny stocks or high risk SPAC IPOs or Mime stocks. Let free market teach the lesson and let not the government regulate. Ok to regulate to some extent the retirement accounts but non retirement accounts should not be regulated. You may regulate some ETFs like TQQQ
I have been trading leveraged ETFs both long and inverse since 2008. I also read prospectus, SEC filings, etc, and understand the risks involved. I have not had any major losses due to leveraged ETFs, inverse or otherwise and pay close attention to any warnings my brokers provide on a regular basis about the risks involved.

Hi,
As an investor, I own a few leveraged ETFs which are critical part of my overall asset portfolio. I strongly oppose any plan to restrict access to these ETFS by any means because investments in these leveraged ETFs are my rights and setting any restrictions may hurt my wealth.

You do need to read how each fund operates,but that goes for all investments.,bonds,equities,commodities. If there is something
It should be up to individual investors as to whether they what type of investment they chose without the proposed "red tape" despite known volatility. Many publicly traded companies have gone bankrupt or experienced huge fluctuations in stock prices and in those cases shareholders are not protected. Overall, investors should never have a concentration in any investment and no one
Who are you to say what is too "complex" for the average person to trade? Why take away a legitimate tool to help us hedge down turns with inverse funds or make up for losses with leveraged funds? Brokers already require we read documents and know the risks associated.
How about you worry about something that actually matters like naked short selling, short selling in general
