As an MBA, I understand the importance of investment and knowledge of investment. Regulation of retail investment is not appropriate. As a business professional with financial knowledge - these rule changes have will have little to no impact on me. Others, however will be harmed by them.
As a free market society - we should have more freedom in what we are allowed to do with our money vs less
Dear regulators, I do not think it is appropriate to further regulate investors in this regard. I am not a professional investor according to most definitions, but still I have been able to use several leveraged funds *more* effectively than I have individual securities. The regulatory restrictions that apply to me actually tend to result in *worse* decisions on my part, not better. I do not
I think people should have the right to choose their financial destiny. I have made significant profits using options and actually ran into more issues with imposed regulations and stockbroker policies. There are plenty of tools out there to learn about options.

It's my belief that there was obvious disregard to the SSR rule and was manipulated further, starting at 4:00 AM July 8th. Further transparency. PRISON not FINES.
Comments: Over the years there has been enough said about the features and risks of the leveraged instruments like 3x ETFs. Brokerages also issue pop-up warnings on the risks and margin requirements as we enter a trade. I am strongly in favor of *not* changing the current rules for these leveraged instruments. Doing so would reduce the investment/trading options for hundreds of thousands retail
