QQQ is down roughly 20% YTD, but I have been able to hedge my long stock positions and profit from this decline through the PSQ, the inverse of QQQ. I do not want to take on
Comments: Since the time that humans had a path to follow or street to cross, there has been an element of risk in so doing. Saber-toothed cats, banditos, darkness, wrong turns, errant drivers, psychopaths, malevolent humans and natural calamities all posed a risk to a successful journey.

Hello - I am contacting you regarding recent communication I have received from my broker that may restrict my ability to invest in leveraged and other higher risk assets.
