I'm offended by the arrogant supposition that investors are somehow incapable of managing their investment risk and trading, investment, and hedging strategies. Leveraged and inverse funds are valuable and innovative tools that actually allow prudent investors to decrease/manage risk and improve tax efficiency. Any regulatory attempts to restrict the availability and utility of these

I stand firm that I should be able to choose the vehicles I invest in. I am an individual investor who has successfully traded using leveraged and inverse funds for many years. Hearing the cautions beforehand, I researched them on my own before I started using them. I currently use them to enhance my portfolio, as well as hedge it. I, and millions of other investors, are capable of understanding
I use leveraged ETFs as a part of my portfolio. I have spent a lot of time understanding the behavior and increased volatility of these funds. I think it's important that I have access to the same securities as any privileged investors in order to have access to the same kinds of returns on my portfolio. I understand that different investments have different risks. I prefer the risks
I strongly oppose the proposed regulation of complex products that might include leveraged and inverse funds. The assumption that retail investors do not know what they are doing is flawed.

I should NOT need special approval from my Broker to trade a leveraged security. I know the risks involved! I am NOT ignorant! I know simple math. To put more obstacles in front of me to invest
Inverse funds allow me to take contrarian positions when I believe the market is behaving in unsustainable manners, not only preventing losses on my positions, but furthering my gains. Preventing household investors like me from choosing these funds limits the ability for me to choose the right strategies that I believe will pay off in the long term. Anyone is capable of reading the risks of
I've used leverage as part of a well-researched and highly-effective investment strategy for the past 14 years. This allows me to grow my investments - responsibly - much faster than would otherwise be possible without leverage. I should have the right to choose whatever investments make the most sense for me, and be expected to handle the consequences of any mistakes I make in their
Dear Sir/Madam,
Use of inverse funds is a method of protecting a portfolio from decline that is crucial to retired investors such as myself.
Since early March I have used inverse funds as a hedge to protect my long positions in my retirement accounts. The other options would be cash which would be decimated by inflation or hold and pray we do not have another dot com lost decade where
We should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for you and your family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public,
not just the privileged.
We shouldn't have to go through any special process

I use leverage funds as small part of my
