#1: As an American I take great offense to even more regulations on my ability to make intelligent investments, since a free citizen should be able to make or lose money on their own volition, not that of a Regulator . . . FYI the "motherly" $25,000 Trade Rule regulation cost me dearly at times in the past;
#2: My risk is less with leveraged ETFs as I invest much less than I am
I'm outraged and terrified that FINRA would consider putting restrictions on leveraged and inverse investment vehicles. These are extremely valuable tools that I use to achieve the market exposure I want to have. Without these I would need to use other methods which would incur more costs, present more risk to me, and be less tax efficient. I've worked too hard in my career to
Dear FINRA regulators,
Though I don't work in the Finance industry, I work in Corporate Accounting, leveraged and inverse ETFs are part of my personal investment strategy. I do my own research, read as much of prospectuses as possible, and understand the risks I take before making trades. As a free American, I should be able to keep using leveraged and inverse ETFs like I always have
I alone know what risk exposure is acceptable for me, not FINRA regulators.

I'm writing to tell you that I do NOT want any restrictions placed on my ability to trade leveraged funds such as the TQQQs and SQQQs. I'm a young investor who has had great success using the volatility on these funds to grow my accounts. I've been able to pursue my dream of working as a professional musician due to the benefits of my trading income. I've been
Leveraged and inverse funds play a critical and essential role in my investments, particularly in times like today where the risk of a recession requires the tools to hedge my portfolio. With both bond and equity investments declining in value, as a super senior citizen I can't afford to have my portfolio gutted by inflation and bad economic management by my government.
Unlike large
Comments: As a retail investor that wants to take advantage of leverage without the use of options these instruments work to add exposure for a long or as a hedge on sector/market downturns.
I would say that most retail need to understand how they work in reality (rebalancing every day) and the risks associated during times of high volatility. In that case it's the same issues as having
I AM CURRENTLY AN OPTION BUYER AND SELLER AND SUPPORT THE REQUIREMENT OF EITHER TAKING A TEST TO ASSESS THE KNOWLEDGE THE INVESTOR HAS/HAS NOT ACQUIRED OR POSSESSES ON THE VARIOUS STRATEGIES IN OPTIONS TRADING TO ENSURE THE INVESTOR HAS THE KNOWLEDGE NEEDED TO HANDLE THE CONSEQUENCES AND RESPONSIBLITITIES ADEQUATELY.
