It is my opinion the markets should be as transparent and fair across all avenues. The lack of transparency and information tilts the scale away from the retail investor and in turn causes distrust towards further involvement.

Leveraged funds are a vital part of my overall strategy. They are a small portion of my portfolio but they allow me a convenient vehicle to hedge short term risk, especially when I expect downward corrections. On rare occasions I have used them to enhance returns when strong uptrends are in place. Restricting these investments is unnecessary in a free market system and I urge you to keep these
