Please note my concerns about proposals to limit my access to various publicly traded investments. The bulk of my investments are either individual stocks or ETFs and mutual funds (either stocks, bonds or various alternatives like REITs or commodities). Occasionally, especially in times of market stress or at highs, I will take very modest positions in inverse products to offer some downside
Dear FINRA,
I have used leveraged ETFs as core parts of my investment and retirement portfolios. They are extremely efficient and liquid, and allow me to use less cash. For example, if I have $100 to invest, I can invest $50 in the 2X S&P 500 ETF and invest my $50 cash in U.S. Treasuries.
