My name is Robert. P. Zizzi. I have been investing in the markets for over 55 years, and I certainly don't need someone telling me suddenly what I can and cannot invest in when it comes to my portfolio and publicly traded securities. I have invested in both Put and Call options and ETFs and ETNs many times in order hedge and leverage my investments and am doing so very well currently.
