Comments: I have used leveraged ETFs since 2018 and have been able to understand the risks. I am consistently reminded of the risks and understand that downturns in the market can skew the performance and they are made for short term active trading and monitored regularly.

While I understand the importance of ensuring that nefarious inversely schemes are kept at bay, the ones who do follow the guides, rules and laws should be allowed.
