The Cyber and Analytics Unit (CAU) within FINRA’s Member Supervision program is highlighting recent updates to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0, which is a resource designed to help organizations manage and reduce cybersecurity risks, regardless of their degree of cybersecurity sophistication.
The ability to protect myself, my investments and thus my ability to survive freely is a constitutional right. Economic manipulation to the negative impact upon free people is enslavement. To the freedom of the American people such an action done from the inside is treason and when done from the outside is an act of war. Do you want to harm the American people?
As an investor, I have used leveraged investments as part of my strategy for years. I already receive several warnings before trading my leveraged ETFs and I am fully aware of the risks and take full responsibility for the actions I take. Please do not put any further restrictions in place and allow the average investor the opportunity to invest in these types of securities.
Its really not your right to block or restrict investors the right to choose what they invest in. If someone wants to leverage 3x 4x or 100x its their right and their risk. If they win big they win. If they lose it all its their own fault. Children need their hands held. Adults playing in the financial world need to take responsibility for their own actions.
You have no right to limit people's investments. As long as the funds make full disclosures, you have no right to limit anything. Your proposed action is clearly a violation of HUMAN RIGHT, people's right to choose!!!!
You should spend your time regulating the real problems bitcoin!!!! bitcoin has absolutely no protection at all.
TO whom it may concern,
This regulation is hurting the basic rights for the individual investors.
We have the right to invest in funds that we want without going through any special process to invest in leveraged funds. The risk is shared before making actions and this is important to my long term investment strategies.
Thank you for your consideration

The risks and benefits of leveraged ETFs are well known to investors. I should be able to invest in a product that I research and feel comfortable investing in. If we regulate leveraged etfs, what about regulating home purchasing (5x leverage) or the actions of Wall Street.. where large players can easily manipulate single stocks through short selling or otherwise?
Investing in leveraged ETFs is a useful tool for retail investors and has clearly communicated risks and returns. I used them in my early investing days when I was very open to risk and as I have aged I phased out of them. Other people should also have the opportunity to take high risk high reward actions in an informed way.
