I am consistently reminded of the risks and understand that downturns in the market can skew the performance and they are made for short term active trading and monitored regularly. I receive a notice prior to placing trades with my firm and periodic emails reminding me of the risks. I am comfortable with
Hi, Please leave the current platforms intact. Many investors have adjusted their portfolios to trade and invest in this setup. Changing this will cause major harm to investors. Obviously there is a lack of transparency when leverage products were allowed to manipulate the markets but now it is a mature market and public is very well aware of these products.

Dear SEC, How dare you go after these instruments. Focus more of your energy on companies which do insider trading and when you do give fines they cannot be less than the money made.

Dear FINRA: DO not steal my free agency to invest my money as I see fit. DONT HELP ME. I need the leveraged and inverse trading financial instruments in order to hedge my portfolio.

This is clearly a case where regulators are falling prey to political pressure to "protect" investors. These funds are incredibly useful in instances where trading futures is not available.

In regards to leveraged and inverse investments: Individuals, not regulators, should be able to choose the investments that are right for them and their family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the wealthy. I and other investors shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before we can invest in public securities, like leveraged
The Market Access Rule topic of the 2024 FINRA Annual Regulatory Oversight Report (the Report) informs member firms’ compliance programs by providing annual insights from FINRA’s ongoing regulatory operations, including (1) regulatory obligations and related considerations, (2) findings and effective practices, and (3) additional resources.

Dear Regulator,
I have been a retail investor for years and found that Leveraged ETFs are not as risky as many have been led to believe. I have been able to post gains whether the market is up or down using very basic strategies.
