Dear FINAR, I have been investing leveraged funds like TQQQ, UPRO, UDOW, SOXL,FAS for years. When they were held for long term, these type funds deliver extraordinary results for retail investors like me. As a wager earner and an average American , I see these type funds are only hope to get me to retirement. There are many bad risk assets in you list. The ones I mentioned are not. They are good
Certified Financial Planner and Retirement Income Certified Professional here: These new proposals are another failed attempt to regulate the finance industry. At this point it is almost comical that all of the proposed and enacted regulations are obviously meant to hurt the average Joe, while allowing big players to continue to profit and manipulate the system. I hope at some point in the near
I have used leverage to enhance my portfolio gains. I also use them in my retirement account. To eliminate them would be a big disservice to investors. Leverage works like any other investment, whether its commodities, metals or even bonds. Please dont impose your thoughts and try to regulate all investors with one stroke. Im capable of understanding the risk Im taking with leverage both regular
I believe I have the right to use leveraged or inverse ETFs as part of my investment strategy.

I don't need any bureaucratic idiots telling me what to do. I see what the bureaucrats are doing to this country. Leave me and other investors alone! You're trying to provide a solution to a problem
I am generally of the opinion that leveraged ETFs, like Options, are not appropriate for most investors. While I would support these being available in accounts marked "Aggressive Growth" or "Trading" for account objective, their inclusion in retirement account like IRAs should be restricted due to the extreme potential for volatility. I am also of the opinion that these
I strongly believe that I as an investor should be able to choose the public investment that are right for me. I should not have to go through any special process or test before I can invest in public securities like leveraged and inverse funds. I found leveraged and inversed funds are important to protect my investments when stocks went down, I can leverage the loss with inverse funds. When the
I beleive i should be able to choose the publiv investments that are right for me and my family. public investments should remain available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

Inverse funds serve an important function to hedge investment portfolios. By precluding retail investors from doing so, it is locking out this class of investor from having any form of protection during periods of down markets.
