please don’t close or restrict leveraged ETFs. Those are for many years and people made money. If you saw a risk on those you should take action when market was hot during November 2021. Retail investors like me lost money on stock market. If you close or restrict trading thess probably I will not get back my money. I think this is a regulatory scam. Request your kind consideration to have those
Thank you for the opportunity to appear today to discuss the important work that the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, is doing to fulfill our mission under the federal securities laws to protect investors and safeguard market integrity while facilitating vibrant capital markets.

I know the risks involved and choose to use a small portion of my overall money invested in these products to supplement standard, non-leveraged mutual and exchange traded funds. The leveraged funds are already regulated and restricted to have limited offerings. Taking away more freedom to
Please do not further restrict or regulate public trading in leveraged ETFs. My family uses several leveraged ETFs to smooth our investment risk over time (temporal diversification). Leveraged ETFs are easy and tax-efficient means to increase our investment exposure early in our accumulation phase so that we can take less risk near the end of the accumulation phase. Additional regulation will
I am shocked to hear that the regulators are considering restrictions to leveraged funds. Leveraged funds are significantly safer compared to option trades and outright shorting. For example, I use TQQQ to go long and SQQQ to go short NASDAQ, instead of outright shorting NDX.
