I believe as an experienced investor that I should be able to use leveraged funds to enhance returns on my portfolio or in the case of inverse funds to hedge and protect on the downside for my portfolio. If not allowed to choose my only option would be to open a margin account and use leverage open myself to possibility of margin calls or to potentially short a stock that has unlimited risk.
STOP THE MADNESS! It's hard to believe that another agency is again wanting to control/restrict me, telling me how and what to trade. I am 66 years old, have been trading stocks since 1998 (24 years now). I am the only one that should be deciding on the risk of whatever stock or ETF that I (not FINRA) am going to invest in. I am abundantly capable of making these decisions on my own, and
