I buy leveraged and inversed funds as part of my investment strategy and would be very negatively impacted by any change. I buy these funds as a hedge so I can hold my regular stocks in a down market to held for long term gains. For example, I am holding AAPL, AMZN, MSFT, NVDA,SOXL AND OTHERS. I want to hold these stocks for long term gains. I can keep the stocks and hedge by buying SQQQ, the
Comments: I've been using leveraged ETFs for many years and am well aware of the added risk. My experience is that the risk of the leveraged vehicle is not much different than investing in individual stocks.

It is necessary that there be confirmation when positions are closed. It is currently way too easy for holders of short positions to kick the can and hope the company that is the focus of the short goes bankrupt. You need to start supporting the action of jailing those that are responsible. Fines are nothing but a cost of doing business and everyone knows it. People need to be held accountable.
Isn't naked shorting illegal? Isn't it the SEC and FINRA's job to investigate and enforce? Please do your job.
