Do not restrict my ability to short markets. It comes with the same risk as regular investing, and I should have both options available to me...

As an investor it's my responsibility to understand what I am investing in. Regulators shouldn't restrict the people's right to invest in stocks or funds and they definitely shouldn't put a requirement that you need a "high net worth". Why should individuals who do their research have to jump through hoops in order to invest because someone else didn't understand what they were doing. This would be akin to making an entire class retake an exam because some students chose not to study and failed.
I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for you and your family. Not Regulators. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just those selected by random government standards.
If you want to protect the uninformed then stop gambling!

Enough is enough give us our freedom's back the right to the free market is fundamental to this country's history yes history please stop intervening regulating or taxing and that's all regulation is an additional tax please please stop And let the free market reign.
Your government ideas already has me blocked from making logical investments. I think it is terrible! Like it or not there is a kind of zero balance between plus and minus, ie. buying and selling of investments. A person should have the option of investing based on ones expectation of events and their potential finance effects.
ProShares offer a choice to investors. Disclosure of risks associated with ProShare's ETFs are well documented. Communication is regularly provided and easily reviewed by the public at large. Introducing illiquidity to the marketplace does not benefit existing shareholders and rather hurt small investors like myself. I currently invest in leveraged funds to take advantage of short to medium horizon opportunities when market stresses occur. I do not want to take margin debt when such opportunities occur.
Individuals should have their freedom to choose what to invest.
Please concentrate on eliminating digital currency. Not only is that a con, it is also environmentally ruinous.
Regarding leveraged funds, I am aware of the risks.
I should be able to choose the public
investments that are right for me and my family.
Public investments should be available to all of the public,
not just the privileged. Please stop your overreach!!
