I have seen countless people, both in my personal life and on the internet, lose money investing in complex financial products they never understood.

I am a financially literate investor that uses leveraged ETFs as part of a diversified portfolio. Sweeping restrictions of financial instruments create unnecessary barriers of entry for investors seeking to increase market exposure.
