We need daily report on short positions, and a overall crackdown on naked shorting and dark pools. Fines should be served with jail time, if you fine someone a few million, when they make billions, there is no incentive to stop.
Comments: I like to use these leveraged products for short duration trades in an efforts to enhance returns of my core portfolio. I also use leveraged inverse funds to hedge my long positions and I prefer it to shorting or buying puts.
Please do not change or restrict my ability to trade them.
