I'm a retail type investor that very much like to use leveraged ETFs as part of my investing strategy. I strongly oppose any restrictions on leveraged ETFs for retail investors. I understand it is 100% my responsibility to understand the risk associated with any investment. I understand there is potential for losses if I invest in leveraged ETFs. I very much like having maximum
I see this as another pathetic attempt at making investing and trading inaccessible to the average retail broker. All investors no matter the size should be able to invest in whatever they like.

I oppose any regulations that restrict my right to invest how and when I wish.

Hello,
I am adamantly opposed to any restrictions being placed on my ability to invest in inverse or leveraged ETFs. These funds make it plainly obvious that there is significant risk involved, but I for one have decided that there is a place for them in my portfolio.
