I believe all investments should be available to the public; imposing additional restrictions on leveraged and inverse funds is simply a way to preclude the public from investing in good vehicles, essentially reserving these investments for only the wealthy and privileged, which is contrary to the American ideals of justice and liberty for all. I have no problem understanding the theory, trading
Please allow unrestricted availability of leveraged in inverse ETF's. Many private individuals are choosing to manage their own retirement and investment funds.
