As a result, the Cyber and Analytics Unit (CAU) within FINRA’s Member Supervision Program is notifying firms of the increased activity of this threat actor to heighten awareness and visibility of this risk. CAU is also providing a compilation of resources that outline effective practices firms may consider in response to this elevated risk.
If I wasnt comfortable with my investment choices I wouldnt make them. I conduct all relevant research before making an investment and leveraged and inverse securities are no different. My broker provides sufficient information with respect to the risk of the investment and I dont believe any additional conditions are necessary from regulators.

I am capable of understanding written information and to not need BIG BROTHER's approval or protection. I strongly oppose restrictions to my right to invest MY money.
