I say some because It is clear that the integrity of the United States market has been strained to the edge of disaster, in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy.

This action limits opportunities for retail traders and investors to use these instruments for hedging purposes. Since this is my money at risk and not the general public's I feel I have the understanding and competency in choosing where
Dear FINRA, My opinion on FINRA's proposed limits is that may restrict my access to leveraged Funds or to disqualify me from trading Those types Funds or other "complex products". If you have a strong understanding of the characteristics and risks of leveraged funds, but I am not a professional. I do understand that their purpose is for short-term active trading, and that they
Dir Sir/Madam It is none of your business what investments are right for myself and my family. I am an adult capable of making my own decisions and living with the consequences of those decisions.

Hi,
I use leveraged products as a part of my portfolio allocation.
