These leveraged funds provide outstanding trading and investment products for successfully managing my stock market investments. Individuals should have the same opportunities as the "professionals", many of whom do not perform as well as the good individual investor. There should not be barriers that prevent the average investor from participating in these products. The risks are
I believe short interest should be more limited to 15% max 10 business day holds but then have to cover, I personally think its wrong to short a stock when the company is doing well on the books but on the market they are being pummeled to the point of needing an RS and then they are shorted even more to the point of needing another rs. This is where I believe it becomes criminal, Shorts need
I want in depth reports on short positions for any and every stock on the market. I also want reports on how many of those short positions are on loan as well as the strike numbers for each individual option. Secondly, short sellers (mainly institutions) should absolutely not be able to hold MASSIVE uncovered short options. They should be required to have covered puts before placing any puts.
Regarding the stocks $AMC and $GME: There must be more transparency about short positions. There should be no self reported data from any entity, there must be a third party overseer.

I feel additional regulation on inverse and leveraged funds who prohibit me from diversifying my account. I already invest in high risk stocks like penny stocks and I also short stocks so I maximize my annual gains. While I may lose money occasionally I fully accept that risk. I'm only putting a small percentage into these funds and the majority of my money is in less risky stocks.
I'm a retail investor from Sweden who's been an investor in AMC since January 2021. AMC is the owner of Sweden's largest cinema chain (Filmstaden) and I found it important to try and help a struggling company to survive. Little did I know that short sellers with seemingly endless liquidity tried the exact opposite: to bankrupt the company through short selling and driving down the
I am a retail investor. I have invested in AMC. Other than buying a few shares of Apple and Disney stock I have only played in mutual funds and mostly in my 401k. I invested in AMC on June 1 2021. I am a CPA. I am very frustrated with what appears to be market manipulation to force the stock price down. The hedge funds appeared to take a position as far back as January 1 2021 to put AMC out of
As one of the biggest regulating bodies within the overseeing of the stock market, Finra should strive to have a way more transparent, thorough and demanding framework for reporting short positions. You admit in your proposal that the extent of which many of these methods are being implemented in the market - are unknown. As the framework stands today, institutions that profit from short selling
