I take extreme exception to your proposal to limit my access to buying any particular class of public funds. This is part of my investment strategy; I employ it as a hedge in my portfolio.

Dear FINAR, I have been investing leveraged funds like TQQQ, UPRO, UDOW, SOXL,FAS for years.

I have been trading and investing my own account for over 10 years now. If I want to buy these leveraged funds with my own hard earned money its my choice. Theres risk in all investments and as an adult with her own money I should be able to choose if I want to buy these leveraged funds or not.
