Hi,
I use leveraged products as a part of my portfolio allocation.
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.

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. With that knowledge, I proceed with the investments I believe are a best fit for the long term success of my family. Please do not
Hello, I appreciate the opportunity to comment on this issue.

Not going to fix shorts
As a “retail investor”, which is a term I hate, the actions of Wall Street “professionals” over the past 6 months or longer has been eye opening to say the least. As a 43 year old man with a Bachelors degree in finance, who has taken classes on investing, stocks, mutual funds, options, bonds, and various other securities I always knew that I wanted a professional to manage my portfolio and 401k
I'm with passing this rule to improve the transparency of the stock market.
Thank you FINRA for extending the period for commenting. Also, I thank you for attempting to make the U.S. Equities Market a fairer and safer place for retail investors to do business. This year is the first in which I became a direct participant in the U.S. Stock Market. Before this year I only passively participated though my retirement plan, but this year I proudly became a retail investor.
