Leverage ETF is like a high growth stock. It makes no sense to require investment to pass a test to trade or even hold the leverage ETF.
Netflix (NFLX) is a good example of a high growth stock. It was one of the best performing stocks for over 2 decades, but in just 5 short months, it drops from $700.99 on 11/7/2021 to $199.87 today's closing (5/3/2022) or down over 70%.
Agreeing with Tom Berwick, sending for visibility into this serious matter. I am sick & tired of large hedge funds such as Citadel performing coordinated ladder attacks against GME & AMC, as well as others. Those two charts frequently pattern in lock step with each other. Investors know, as I assume FINRA & SEC does as well, that naked shorting is taking place on a grand
In a fair and open market there should be transparency and a level playing field for all investors; be they retail or institutional. The # of shares shorted should be available IN REAL TIME throughout the trading day. Dark pool trading must be eliminated. We can clearly see that large institutions are buying massive quantities of AMC stock (for example) on the dark pool and then flooding the

Consolidation of short interest data publication, centralized on the FINRA website should be made public. Require firms to segregate short interest held in proprietary accounts vs that held in customer accounts. Report to FINRA account-level short interest (not for publication). Report synthetic short positions in both options and security based swaps. Report loan obligations from arranged

Executive Summary
Given the growing market for over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives, such as OTC options on individual equity securities and stock indexes, and the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) recent approval of increases in option position and exercise limits, the NASD reminds
There needs to be away for people who are unable to sell stocks short to short the market during bear conditions Removing the use of inverse and leveraged funds further disadvantages individual investors and would continue to demonstrate the regulatory agencies' support of big market players
Any new rules to regulating shorts would be very welcome as a retail investor. As far as I’m concerned, these are the biggest problem in enforcing REG SHO and regulation of the shorting market is the T2 settlement period which obscures net positions for the average investor. And the other is the blurred line of market makers and hedgefunds. Hedgefunds can easily parade themselves as “bona fide”
Shares need to have a traceable ID number, and shares that are shorted need to report that ID. I don't know how naked shorts get created by i do know that a stock like AMC shouldn't be shorting multi-millions of shares per day for months and months but never change SI% more than a few percent.
