I do a lot of investing and trading using leveraged funds and have not had an issue and its where a vast majority of my trading comes from. All this without any kind of test. Its insulting to take away so much
The current regulations on "complex securities" is adequate. FINRA and SEC doesn't need any further new regulations in complex securities.

This is an absolutely vile proposition, aimed at maintaining the status quo and blatantly trying to stop social mobility. What's even more shocking is that this is not even trying to mask itself as something else, it's just blatant discrimination and abuse of power. It is utterly shameful and completely antithetic to progress and growth. If you are trying to mitigate the chaos

To Regulators,
I staunchly oppose the proposed requirements to invest in leveraged ETFs and funds. I have invested in these funds for over 10 years and am fully aware of the risks. I am capable of reading the prospectus and understanding these risks. As a former financial advisor and principal, I have ALREADY passed a series of tests that prove my investment knowledge. However, even if I had
