How about you just make this a simple thing... Instead of financial institutions SELF-REPORTING their short positions, why not actually have a regulatory body go directly into their books, so they can properly extrapolate the information.

I use leveraged funds to give a little spark to my otherwise strictly dividend portfolio. Always less than 5% of portfolio value. I also use them for short periods to enhance returns on a sector that is in current demand. They are always used in small proportion and for short periods of time.

It has come to our attention that under the regulations being considered by FINRA I may not be able to buy leveraged and inverse funds like TQQQ, SQQQ and others. I would like yo urge you to NOT implement these regulations. These funds are important to my and my husbands investment strategies and restricting these funds will hurt both us and others we have encouraged over the years to use to
I do not want "Regulators controlling my stock market purchases or selling of stocks! PERIOD!!!!!!
