Investing in leveraged ETFs should available to all investors and traders at all times. Leverage is not the enemy. If it were, very few of us would have mortgages. Right now, people of all levels of investment knowledge have access to trading stock and index options. Many of these people buy calls, most of which expire worthless. There is virtually no barrier to trading stock options that my
For those who have an FPL account, is there a way in which we can view where the broker is getting the variable interest rate used? I have noticed is a fraction of what is reported from sources like fintel.io. Seems like there are many behind the scenes deals going on to allow for manipulation. If stocks are loaned out, then the interest rate should be able to have some reference of where the
Please do not restrict my right or ability to invest. I select the funds I wish to invest in based on my own research, knowledge and risk tolerance. I enter the stock market with full knowledge that it involves risk and no investment is guaranteed to be profitable.

I dont know if you have read the 2008 paper by Yale researchers Ayres and Nalenluff titled, Life-Cycle Investing and Leverage: Buying Stock on Margin Can Reduce Retirement Risk.

I would like more transparency in the market, especially buy/sell orders in the ATS. All information should be available to retail investors. Short positions should be disclosed day of filing.
So you won't do your jobs and limit what MMs and hedge funds can do, but you want to regulate what retail investors can and cannot invest in?? The leveraged funds give everyday retail investors a vehicle to make a little bit more than picking individual stocks.

I have not been very successful with my Proshares either on the long side or the short side but I still think that I should have the ability to trade these shares as I see fit for my portfolio as market conditions change.

More frequent reporting of short positions, eg weekly. Positions, trade date (open), trade date (closed), holder. Optional price and positions without showing holder.
