I have spent two years fine tuning a strategy that lets me vary my risk exposure using a mix of standard and leveraged funds to take advantage of market behavior. Blocking access to these leveraged funds will wreak havoc on myself and others in my position who have spent the time and energy to create smart and intelligent
