I am using leveraged ETFs to trade short term volatility and handle my risk profile. I am reading Barrons, FundStrat reports and WSJ Market news to trade productively.
After investing for a little over 10 years, my most successful years are when I started investing in leveraged ETFs. Eliminating the leveraged ETFs from the choices of investment vehicles is the wrong decision. Yes, leveraged ETFs are volatile, but so are individual securities, mutual funds, and options. I understand the volatility when I invest in them and assume the risk myself. Investing in
What law or authority dictates the need to regulate people who buy and sell leveraged and inverse funds? Investing in the stock market is risky, but people have successfully invested for hundreds of years and many people have not been successful. I have invested in stocks for over 60 years and have lost money and have made money. I have gambled many times and have always lost money. Before
I have invested and traded stocks, options, etf's for 20 years and understand the risks involved. I have a high net worth and only risk approximately 5% of my stock portfolio on options and etf's hedges. I have extensive knowledge by reading about various types of investments. This is the U.S. where we should have the right to invest public investments of all kinds if we choose
I oppose this restriction. First, some leveraged ETF like those 3X SP500 index, are actually less volatile than many individual stocks.

I am opposed to the new regulations further restricting retail investors. As a retail investor it is my responsibility to manage my own risk and be aware of the stocks and securities in which I invest. I am a grown man and do not need you to act as my mother.

Ive been well informed by my stock broker with written documents and explanation about the risk of leveraged and inverse funds/ETFs. Therefore, I DO have the knowledge and understanding about the risks/rewards regarding the said funds/ETFs. Thus, I would like the freedom to trade inverse and leveraged ETFs since they enable me the flexibility to profit from both rising or falling or even flat
The Customer Order Handling: Best Execution and Order Routing Disclosures topic of the 2025 FINRA Annual Regulatory Oversight Report (the Report) informs member firms’ compliance programs by providing annual insights from FINRA’s ongoing regulatory operations, including (1) regulatory obligations, (2) findings and effective practices, and (3) additional resources.
Don't want those regulations and could you please do away with the $25,000 in your account day-trading rule? Why is it that always the little guy gets the short end of the stick?
It is simply un-American and wrong to restrict access to certain investment vehicles simply because FINRA has generalized that the average retail investor is incapable of comprehending the products in which they invest in. From someone who has been studying leveraged funds for years now, please do not do this. One could argue that investing in small biotech stocks or "Bottom Fishing"
