I strongly disagree with the regulations on leveraged products that FINRA is proposing. As a retail investor, I should be able to choose my investments and make decisions as to what is right for me and my family, without having to go through some special process, be it passing tests, or meeting some net worth that only privileges those with higher net worths.. who are already advantaged with
I am a retail investor that has been successfully trading in leveraged investment vehicles for more than four years. These vehicles are important to my personal investment style and I am very comfortable with the EFT I have chosen.
Through my own study of the EFT and the prospectus provided by the fund, I am well acquainted with the risks inherently involved in the purchase and sale of my chosen
I believe in education, not restriction.

The law is not truly being enforced as those still blatantly and destructively manipulating the market get away with it every single day, to the point where retail investors can correctly predict how a stock will be manipulated in the open market.
