Please stop with the over reach! We should have the ability and freedom to invest as we like.
I believe as a middle class citizen that I have the right to invest in funds. Public investments should be available to all not just the privileged.
Leveraged funds provide a hedge against inflation. Which is at a already high rate as it is now. I personally use them only for a small portion of my portfolio but I can see the use of them greatly. However, yes I do see there risk. As with an investment, of course it is of greater risk then typical
We know what we are doing and we don't need a nanny. Work on the economy and inflation please.

I know what's best for me and my family, I don't need restrictions
I vehemently oppose restrictions from Regulators such as FINRA whom I consider bureaucrats to limit my ability to invest in Leveraged ETFs. I have utilized 3X Leveraged ETFs for over a decade with tremendous success that has enabled me to amass millions in capital gains and has allowed me to retire comfortably. I do not want an investment "nanny" to tell me how I want to invest my own money. FINRA and others must Back Off!!!
I want to continue to buy leveraged and inverse fund.
To Whom it May Concern at FINRA,
Ive invested in leveraged and inverse products for a long time. Over that time, Ive developed personal expertise and bespoke strategies attuned to my risk comfort level and funds.
Im depending on this as a way to fund my retirement. My investments from leveraged and inverse funds will supplement (not supplant) income from traditional IRAs, 401(k)s, and Social Security.
If I can no longer access my familiar products due to regulation, an important income component will be lost.
Don't abolish ETF's!
Leveraged funds are important to my investment strategy. I diversify my investments in the market as a whole and use leveraged funds to boost my returns. If I am able to invest in the S&P, I should be able to leverage that. I am well informed on how the leverage products work including decay. I implore you not to limit my ability to invest as I see fit.
