I am against more nanny state regulations. We as individuals need to be able to make our own decisions.

Hi FINRA Regulator, I am a retail investor and 90% of the time, I buy stocks and broad market ETFs. However, in some occasions such as March 2020 and Now, I have used some of these complex structure funds to hedge my positions before during market volatitle.

Please don't add additional burdens on investors to invest in products like inverse or leveraged funds. I use these in my own investment strategies and are excellent choices.

I've gone through a state exam to fully understand what risks should be disclosed to my clients and I've worked extensively to educate my clients on the use and risks of leveraged ETFs.
