The current regulations on "complex securities" is adequate. FINRA and SEC doesn't need any further new regulations in complex securities. These complex securities have the same risk and volatility as buying a individual stock. Geared ETF and Inverse are for advance investor and trader. The current agreement with brokers is adequate.

Please investigate criminal activity such as naked shorting..... into any hedge funds that are illegally affecting a market of any given stock.

I was new to trading until I got involved signing up with RobinHood earlier in 2020.
