Dear Sirs- I have been successfully using leveraged ETF's that follow a multiple of either the S&P500, The Dow, and the NASDQ to bolster my investment portfolio, together with bell shaped conservative funds, using a diversified mix of funds. I am an aggressive investor. I have had success with a 10 or 15% mix of 2x and 3x bull market etf's. I have found the S&
Dear FINRA, My name is Joshua Barnes, I live in Midland Texas with my wife & daughter. Im a part time retail trader, currently working full time in the energy field, with hopes of self retirement within 15 years. Part of my retirement plan consists of trading all kinds of revenue vehicles, i.e., common stocks, ETFs, stock options, leveraged ETF/ETN, etc. For what its worth, I do recognize
Please do not take away the ability to use leveraged funds as this is a great vehicle to be a bit more aggressive without having to buy individual stocks. I should be able to assess and trade on the risk tolerance I have for myself and my family.
This is absolutely ridiculous. I'm interested in these products specifically because I understand the risks of leveraging and shorting and I want a proxy institution with higher net worth to assume that risk on my behalf. That's what leveraged and inverse funds offer me. I can't lose anything more than I invest, so how is it any different from other etfs or mutual funds

I hope our voices are heard before a decision is made, as otherwise
In uncertain times and perhaps in sight of overvalued markets and potentially rising interest rates, I find the Proshares TTT, TBT inverse funds to be a useful hedge to balance my portfolio against expected adverse price movements in the market. I would not feel safe investing in this market without the safety of the hedges that these inverse funds provide. If you want to regulate away bad
I am opposed to further regulations to restrict or disqualify me from trading L&I Funds. I am aware of the high risk and short term volatility to valuations of these funds and the need for daily if not hourly monitoring and evaluation.
My brokerage firm, Fidelity, already provides a popup warning statement for me on these funds and it has been effective in causing second thoughts and
Hello,
Please do not take away my ability to continue holding TQQQ as an investment. I have allocated a portion of my portfolio to holding TQQQ long-term. I am OK with a short test requirement to make sure people know what they're doing with leveraged ETFs like TQQQ. People shouldn't take on risks they don't understand. But please do not take away my ability to
Leveraged funds (TQQQ, UPRO, UDOW) are important to my investment strategies. It's less risky than high growth individual stocks and helps me seek enhanced return. I hope it's restricted to high networth investors.
In regards to the Regulatory Notice 22-08.
I am a retail investor and have been using both long and short leveraged ETFs sense 2009 without issues or concerns of their operation or behavior. I use them to enhance market performance on the up side and to reduce risk when I see the market pulling back.
I would hope to continue using the funds long into the future and would be disappointed if they
