The NASD urges members to take immediate action to ensure the accuracy and completeness of trading data submitted through the NASD's electronic blue sheet system in response to regulatory inquiries. The NASD has become concerned that the quality of submissions by members is not at
Comments: I regularly trade inverse funds. I don't find them "complex" at all. Inverse funds are short which ever index they cover and go up when that index goes down. As I am a very small trader it is the safest and easiest way to short the market. If you take this away from me I will have to short individual stocks which is much more risky due to factors involved
Comments: I think that L&I funds should still be readily available to retail customers without restrictions. I have done my own due diligence, as I think all investors should, in regards to understanding the products and if they are suitable for me. I understand throughly that leveraged products are not meant to be utilized for a long term investment due to the negative drag built
I believe I have the right to use leveraged or inverse ETFs as part of my investment strategy. Since shorting stocks is not allowed in a retirement fund, inverse ETFs give me the freedom to take advantage of situations where market conditions are unfavorable.

I
I would like to see more transparency when it comes to short positions of institutions. Daily accurate reporting; no more hiding how big institutions move the stock market in their favor.
I use inverse etf's to hedge my long positions. Trying to short an individual stock is much too risky. A inverse etf is so much safer. Please do not put an end to inverse etfs.
Current total short interest updated no less than once per day. Short position averages as well as amounts sorted by length held. Ie: 400k shorted shares still uncovered/ current position lifespan 24 days. Total disclosure of what exactly is being pushed through dark pools.
