It is an outrage that FINRA is considering limiting these powerful wealth building tools for non-high-net worth individuals.

I strongly disagree with the regulations on leveraged products that FINRA is proposing.

Specifically, I am concerned that FINRA's current blindness with regard to alternate formations of short interest through "married puts" and arranged financing leads to unquantifiable systemic risk which can then be rolled over indefinitely with low borrow
I am a retail investor in my later 30's. I have only been contributing to my 401(k) for the last 4 years, and opened my Roth IRA in early 2020.
