Dear FINRA:
As a systematic strategy, I have incorporated leveraged ETFs in my portfolio for the last six years. The strategy is mathematical and I follow an algorithm that determines when to buy or sell. I have use the strategy since 1989. It works and I am well-versed with the methods. I firmly believe that I should be able to choose the investment products that are key to my plan. Not a third-
Stop babysitting me. If you want to help your citizens teach them finance in school. Stop making this a nanny state. Furthermore no one learns to take risk properly until they do it.

I understand the risks and rewards of leveraged funds, and have used them to my advantage. However, I understand they can be dangerous in the hands of the uneducated. I believe some type of mild screening process would be useful, i.e., specialized reading materials and a test targeted at leveraged funds only, without other more heavy handed restrictions. The individual, once educated, has a right
I have been using leveraged and inverse funds for a number of years to my great advantage. I would be deeply dismayed to lose access or be obstructed in their use. For what purpose - to "protect" me from engaging in a successful enterprise? To protect the public at large from "shooting themselves in the foot" or running any type of risk has never worked and
