You shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before investing in public securities and inverse funds. I use these funds to offset my other funds when the market goes down.
My opinion is that more regulations and rules imposes more restrictions on traders and more red tape for individual trading.
The more rules the better on the Investment industry. Their only guiding principle is fleecing the flock of uninformed investors. No unproven 'vaporware' of 'investments' should be allowed without full SEC scrutiny. We do not need meme stocks, 'alternative' investments, gold, crypto and other risky investments with no underlying value to be
Dear FINRA,
My Broker, Fidelity Investments, already imposes stringent rules regarding who can invest in leveraged ETF investment products and makes me read and acknowledge the risks inherent in said investments. There is no need for further government oversight. Qualified investors should be allowed to invest in these products should they choose to do so.
