Less regulation, not more. Existing disclosures on options and complex products are sufficient and clear. Retail traders and investors need level playing field, not more barriers to market access, especially access to innovative financial products. Options and leveraged ETFs, when used properly, are very useful and accelerate the journey towards financial goals. I urge FINRA to maintain status quo. Less regulatory red tape is the best protection for retail investors. Retail investors are protected by not having market opportunity and market access forcefully taken away from them.

Numerous retail investors, including myself, responsibly use leveraged ETFs in a holistic investing strategy while understanding the risks. Leveraged ETFs aren't the only ETF that could be dangerous to an uninformed investor, yet we shouldn't limit every ETF that presents volatility. There is no need to punish the informed investor to protect uninformed investors who may decide to pick an different, equally risky security to invest in.
