I'm not in favor of restrictions that punish intelligence and due diligence in order to protect ignorance. Making the system more fair with adequate enforcement against the bad actors that use detrimental activities to exploit and diminish shareholders equity would appear a much more effective approach to improving the systems performance. Naked short selling as an example.
I totally, 100%, disapprove of regulation of leveraged investments. I am an investor of over 40 years, and there is risk in any investment. I utilize only one such investment, and use to have a position in a market in which I am considering investment in the physical asset.
LEAVE US TAXPAYERS ALONE AND LET US BUY WHAT WE WANT ALWAYS TRYING TO GET A PIECE OF OUR PIE
Doing this would be hurt our economy
I do not want my investment decisions regulated or restricted in any way.
Banning traders from buying or trading these ETF's while they are already holding them would cause catastrophic damage to most traders who are currently in positions they cannot exit. This is something that needs MUCH more time to be considered a good plan.
I appose regulation of leveraged and invers funds as they are vital to my long term investment strategies, which allows for greater diversification and higher safe withdrawal rates which keep pace with inflation.
