How Arrogant! You are putting up hurdles for no good reason. People should not need to pass a test, cool off or be forced to follow any nanny state idea. How little faith you have in people. This is insane and I guess it is finally time to organize and remove overbearing, outlandish, self serving humans. I bet you are doing this because of events like GME, wall street bets. You just want to stop

I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

Leveraged funds are excellent vehicles to maximize returns on invested capital, it is my money.FINRA should focus on selling orders of brokers customers to the frontrunners , market makers , scalpers & fast traders firms.
