The retail trader is currently at a huge disadvantage with seemingly insurmountable odds stacked against them. There needs to be full transparency in the markets regarding, short interest reporting, synthetic reporting, dark trading data, retail brokers selling to dark pool data, etc.. There should also be full enforcement of current rules in place and much higher fines for breaking the
No transparency is desperately needed in order for retail investors to stand q chance. Please look into trading trends on AMC and GME. We cannot see data of what is happening when being naked shorted, or what is occurring on the ATF or dark pool markets. Somehow AMC in particular tends to go down in price, even though there are more people buying than selling on most days. This tells me the
Limiting investors choice to determine the best investments based upon their goals is unwarranted and detrimental Investors who use unique investment strategies (ie options, crypto currencies, shorts, high yield bonds, leveraged ETFs) should not have to incur an additional regulatory burden. There are many complex investments and they have been utilized by investors for decades. The
Leveraged and inverse funds are an important of investing for everyday Americans as well as for the privileged. On this May 5th sell off day...a tv talking blamed leveraged funds in part, but the day before had a very large gain and no credit was given to them at all. And if they do cancel these instruments will retail still get blamed for the sell off? Yes...that is what they call us. What we
I find the very premise that in the largest capital market system in the world, there are regulators that are attempting to not allow inverse or leveraged ETFs. To say this is disingenuous would be taking it easy. Lazy is another word. Brokers, and financial advisors exist for reason as does compliance departments. The reality is the average investor is not going to know how to short or buy
Comments: I am so angry that I am beside myself! So let me get this straight. My Federal Government over stimulated the US Economy to buy votes with poor folks and is determined to double down with "Build Back Better" but they do not want me to say NO! or sell SHORT! In that they are wrong, and I could make a lot of money on their stupidity. Credentials: 1. Florida State University
I am an individual retired investor. I have been using inverse and leveraged ETFs and ETNs with very favorable results for several years and do not think that the proposed restrictions are necessary nor advisable.
I have found them very useful and profitable to use and understand the complications and dangers well I think. They are not that complicated to understand.
Possibly for unusual things

Comments: My broker already gives proper warning and reviews request to access these types of trades. Retail, new, and small investors are already at a disadvantage in todays market that allows high net worth entities access to trading outside regular market hours and through AI driven trades that give them a leg up when new information is presented to the public. Adding more restrictions or
Comments: inverse ETFs: investors with small accounts and limited knowledge or no access to options have no way to hedge their position without inverse ETFs. Putting small retail at that kind of disadvantage exposes them to more risk and potential losses. It forces them into trying to time getting out of the market, and/or taking gains in the short term bracket instead of holding and hedging and
