Hi,
I have been an active trader for the last 10 years and have used many trading tools, ranging from simple stocks to complex derivative strategies. Leveraged ETFs/instruments are excellent tools I use to hedge my trades and enhance performance. One of the main reasons these are excellent assets is their ease of access. While they carry more risk (clearly stated with every brokerage platform I
I strongly oppose any restriction placed on my ability to buy leveraged ETFs. I am a "smart" Retail investor who has done his homework, understand the risks and volatility that come with these leveraged ETFs and I want to be able to continue buying them.

All investing or trading is an educated guess, it is all still making a bet on what stock, commodity or the market will do. If we were in Las Vegas it would be educated gambling. I have personally had JDST, JNUG, DUST and NUGT in my portfolio. I and others I know trade these types of investments, some doing it as day traders for at least the last 5 years. When the next recession hits, it would be
Having used leveraged long & short funds for several years I can honestly say that they have helped me make small capital gains while hedging against market volatility. During a recent Nasdaq sell off, losses in long stocks were compensated by the shares of SQQQ that I own. WTI oil has been volatile lately. Scaling out of UCO's as oil rises & simultaneously scaling into SCO
As a former complex product supervisor for one of the largest broker-dealers in the nation and which is probably the highest producing structured product firm, I would like to make some comments on the practices employed by them and in the industry by general. First of all the process in getting an account approved for structured notes and options is largely a joke. Anyone from an 18 year old
