FINRA has taken disciplinary actions against the following firms and individuals for violations of FINRA rules; federal securities laws, rules and regulations; and the rules of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB).
It has come to our attention that under the regulations being considered by FINRA I may not be able to buy leveraged and inverse funds like TQQQ, SQQQ and others. I would like yo urge you to NOT implement these regulations. These funds are important to my and my husbands investment strategies and restricting these funds will hurt both us and others we have encouraged over the years to use to
