Dear FINRA,

I have successfully used leveraged (3x) ETFs as part of my investment strategy for many years now. They give me a safer way to capture large movements in the market than trading options would.

For example, if you buy a call option on the SPX, that investment could go to zero if you don't time your trade correctly.

However, when buying a 3x leveraged ETF like UPRO, your investment will not go to zero unless the S&P 500 itself goes to zero (which would be the end of the world).

Please do not hinder the ease in which I can leverage these important assets.
