Good afternoon, I write to you today as a retail investor who is building a small portfolio. I have found leveraged and inverse ETF products to be integral to my trading strategy, as they allow for enhanced returns. When I first began trading and trying to find ways to enhance my returns, I tried options and nearly wiped out my portfolio. I had to start all over again, and vowed never to use options again. I turned to leveraged and inverse ETFs, and now I am finally able to grow my capital. I hope one day not to have what is still considered a small portfolio, and Im on track to getting there now thanks to leveraged and inverse ETFs. Please do not restrict the trading of such products by those using a small portfolio. This is what many retail investors turn to when they realize options are mostly a great way to lose money, and it helps them get their portfolios back on track, particularly during a tumultuous time in the markets (like now) when one tends to do better not holding long term. I hope these words will reach you along with thousands of others to let you know that these leveraged and inverse products are some of the most valuable tools for well-researched, experienced, and mindful traders.
