I've used leverage as part of a well-researched and highly-effective investment strategy for the past 14 years. This allows me to grow my investments - responsibly - much faster than would otherwise be possible without leverage. I should have the right to choose whatever investments make the most sense for me, and be expected to handle the consequences of any mistakes I make in their
Leveraged funds are no more dangerous than individual stocks. All they do is make slow-moving indexes move more like stocks. Brokers currently have plenty of notices about how this works and investing at our own risk. No changes are needed.
Dear FINRA Regulator,
I am retired and derive much of my income from investments. I prefer to make long term investments but have no desire to make complex individual futures trades myself to protect my long term investments during times of exceptional volatility.

Certainly, we understand the risk of investing and the choice of risk and reward should be left to the investors. The investment choices and the type of investments should be open to all, but not just a few privileged, i.e. the wealthy ones, and the investment firms...etc. As an
Dear Regulator,
I have been a retail investor for years and found that Leveraged ETFs are not as risky as many have been led to believe. I have been able to post gains whether the market is up or down using very basic strategies. Taking away my right to choose what I invest in (especially ETFs)and making me run a gauntlet that I may not successfully navigate makes no sense. There are many other
