Regulatory notices sent out to FINRA members, which are considered industry standard and would be followed by any registered investment advisor or FINRA member brokerage firm, specifically state in FINRA Regulatory Notice 09-31 states that leveraged products, reset each day, leveraged and inverse ETFs typically are inappropriate as an intermediate or long-term investment. Some examples of the largest and most popular leveraged ETFs that have been mismanaged by brokers and held as long positions by brokers who don't understand what they are selling include:

Proshares ultra Pro QQQ, symbol TQQQ, 3x leverage;

Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3x Shares, symbol SOXL, 3x leverage;

Proshares ultra QQQ, symbol SOXL, 3x leverage;

Proshres ultra QQQ, symbol QLD, 2x leverage

Direxion Daily Financial Bull, symbol FAS, 3x leverage

Proshares Ultra Financials, symbol UYG, 2x leverage

Many customers of financial advisors don't understand how the leverage in these ETFs work and how volatile these leverage ETFs can be. According to Florida’s Securities and Investor Protection Act, anyone who has suffered financial loss as a result of negligent or otherwise criminal behavior by a broker is eligible to pursue compensation. Following the expansion, Soreide Law Group can help more clients seek justice through FINRA arbitration, which is among the fastest and most effective ways to secure that compensation outside of court.

Through this arbitration process, cases are brought before a neutral board appointed by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. From there, an array of state, local, federal, and organization-level statutes are at the disposal of Soreide’s legal team to build a case against the defendants.
