I strongly disagree with making it harder to trade complex products, specifically leveraged and inverse funds. If I had to meet similar qualifications and go through much the same processes required for margin and options, then I would be tempted to simply go ahead and sign up for those as well or instead, which would expose me to dramatically higher risks than any ETF. It's quite likely
As announced in a Technical Notice on 6/3/19, there was an issue in the Tier 1 5/13/19 weekly report where some ATS data was unattributed. The issue has now been resolved.

I would like to begin by thanking you for taking our comments. I have a few general comments before I attempt to address any of the points raised in your "Background and Discussion" and "Request for Comments" sections.

I primarily invest in American companies, do not day trade and do at times invest in leveraged and inverse funds. I understand the risks of investing and have spent time and considerable money to

The leverage on the short side for inverse ETFs allows them to hold a smaller position against existing longer-term holdings as a hedge in the same manner that professionals use futures to achieve the same goal.

I should and do have the right to choose my public investments. NOT some financial institution or broker or government restrictions. There should be NO restrictions, tests, or special processes to obtain leveraged inverse funds. NO RESTISTRIONS OR IMPOSED LIMITATIONS due to some new regulations.
