I use the leverage etfs to cover the 3 days I would need in some cases for funds available. In other words I use a method that follows the trend and goes long and short depending current conditions. So I use a double and double inverse at 50% of my total amount to get the same effect of go full size long and short. If it was not for these funds I would not be able to do this in my small account.
Why Finra always consider leverage and inverse product are the most dangerous? What about growth stocks that swings more than leverage? Like Lucid, Sofi, AMC, GME etc stocks that are up and down huge percent a day are not dangerous? How can you regulate and educate people? Stock market by itself is very risky and the valuation can be changed at any time no matter how much you know about the
FINRA 21-19 will help to restore some of my confidence in the US financial markets. I say some because It is clear that the integrity of the United States market has been strained to the edge of disaster, in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy. Healthy markets benefit everyone in the long term. Given the
Thank you for your time. Currently as it stands, there is too little information in true short positions. With a market makers ability to create synthetic shares for “liquidity”, at some point the true positions need to be accounted for. If a bank, a market maker, and or other parties can hide positions through layered securities like CDOs or swaps, there is no benefit to the market, only the
I think individual investors are severely disadvantaged when compared to other market participants when it comes to the issue of access to information. We desperately need more transparency surrounding short selling. I urge you to implement requirements for more frequent reporting of short positions. Anything you can do to get more data in the hands of the public is a step in the right direction.
What is going on in the market today with short selling is absolute market manipulation. How are traders allowed to operate on dark poles? How are they able to short shares that not only do they not home, but often times don’t even exist? The market needs to be a level playing field for both institutional traders and retail traders alike. The SEC Needs to take action against illegal activity!

Regulatory Obligations and Related Considerations
Regulatory Obligations
Rules 203(b) (Short sales) and 204 (Close-out requirement) of Regulation SHO provide exceptions for bona fide market making activity. The SEC has provided guidance on what constitutes “bona fide market making activities” as well as examples of what does not; member firms must also confirm and be able to
Limiting the ability of the common stock holder to use leveraged stocks leave the market free for only the privileged few. Wrong doing and unjust.
If we can buy crypto and penny stocks, we should certainly be able to buy leverage stocks as well, if we so choose.
Many in the small firm community believe that it is not the rules that are the problem, but how they are enforced. FINRA seems to devote too much time and too many resources examining well-intentioned firms that are devoid of customer complaints, and whose behavior is unlikely to cause customer harm. FINRA struggles to apply metrics to firms in determining how to deploy regulatory efforts. Here
