Leveraged/Inverse Products ... like other investment products, leveraged and inverse funds or ETFs have a useful purpose for those who have some understanding of the terms "leveraged" and "inverse"...
All a person has to do to understand what "leveraged" or "inverse" means is some MINIMAL research on their broker's
I have been an investor for more then 40 years and own all types of risk assets including stock and bond ETFs, mutual funds, individual equities in every industry, highly risky and rarely successful option trades and leverages and short funds.
I have had more success trading short or leveraged funds then options. Even a seasoned investor like myself looses money regularly with options. Short
I should be able to invest in the public investments that are available. There should be not any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities.
I use leveraged and inverse funds to hedge my portfolio in volatile market. It is very important to me to have the leveraged and inverse funds available to investors like me. I do not want to sell all the stocks in my
1) Profiting from company failures is immoral. 2) The practice is damaging because it artificially lowers stock prices. 3) It's a privileged investment tactic that is not available to everyday investors. 4) Short sellers manipulate the market, by conspiring. 5) short selling has turned into illegal / naked / phantom shorting shares millions times over resulting in FTDs, fake stock pricing,
The average investor in the United States is kept woefully in the dark when it comes to the dealings of large institutions, such as Citadel. The power institutions like this have to manipulate the market and evade even the simplest rules of the "free and fair" market has proven astronomical.

They've created monster - Tame it for the future with blockchain.... - Also - Punish the ones who are naked
I’m interested in seeing more transparency for the average retail investor. Short sellers are manipulating the stock market right in front of our eyes. Its not hidden, its right in front of our faces. Quite unfair and corrupt. I feel a big disadvantage as a retail investor because of how hard a short selling company can manipulate the price of a stock and have an effect on the actual price of the
There are no rules. Why even have all of this? Naked shorting continues, dark pool trading is out of control. EVERYTHING is set up for the institutions and the super rich to get richer, and the retail investor to be left holding a bag. The institutions are allowed to continue to gamble recklessly and get bailed out when it doesn’t go their way. There needs to be real change in the system to be
Dear FINRA Committee members, It is this commenter's genuine hope that short selling is banned as it serves counter-purpose to the two primary functions of the Stock Market, Capital Allotment, and Price Discovery. As such an act would likely remove the need for FINRA, and it is unjust to request this forum to consider self-destruction. Instead, this comment hopes to serve as a basic appeal
I would want all the of these actions implemented and a DAILY accounting of it in both graphing and table form made available for public consumption. I believe that short positions are a part of the market's functionality. However, only 1 level. That is, a true 1-to-1 correspondence of short to stock share. The delivery date MUST be cut down to 1 day without a 'kick-the-can' down
