Obviously the leveraged products you are considering restricting are demonstrably popular, and therefore unless you believe that most investors are irrational, these products must be serving some useful purpose. Please do not restrict these tools, as they are an important part of my personal investment protocol. Even reducing their availability to the investing public could destroy their utility if their liquidity is significantly lowered.
Maybe something simple, like limiting leveraged products to accounts over a certain size, similar to the PDT account-size threshold? Or requiring that brokerages ensure that investors read a disclosure about how leveraged instruments work? But ultimately we need to stand on personal accountability when it comes to investing, and these useful tools should not be significantly restricted.

Dear FINRA,
Obviously the leveraged products you are considering restricting are demonstrably popular, and therefore unless you believe that most investors are irrational, these products must be serving some useful purpose.
