It is highly discriminatory toward small investors like myself to limit our ability to invest in inverse and leveraged etfs. Small investors dont have the resources to short stocks and employ margin accounts to enhance their gains the way professionals do. An inverse etf allows you to hedge your portfolio during rising interest rates. If an etf goes against you all you need to do to protect
I cannot believe how deep this corruption runs. Honestly, at this point id be hopeful that any number of these committees would do something to level the playong feild here. However judging by lack of action, i have come to one of two conclusions. You're either all corrupt and working together to rob the american public. The people who keep this coubtry running. The people you all considered
I would just like to add to the regulators that if I'd known how many trillions of dollars the Fed was pumping into the stock market in 2009, 2010, 2011, etc., there is no way I would have been short 3x's if it was public. It was not public and that's a betrayal of the public trust. You are at fault for not making that corporate welfare policy public. You should be prosecuted for
Hello,
Everyone should be free to invest and take risks. I'm all for full disclosure. For example, disclose Point by point:
1, These are high risk investments.
2. The stock market goes up most of the time. Betting against it is risky.
3. They (some) lose value if held overnight.
I have made over 25% this year using these type of funds and wish to be able to continue. I own a

Short selling is legal, fair, and a proper tool to use in the markets to bring down the price of an over-valued security. Why does it feel like institutions have so much power over retail? Why does it feel like I am going up against massive opponents that refuse to lose? Why do they get away with criminal activity to avoid billions in losses to only pay regulators millions in fines? It's
I strongly oppose any limitations that may be placed on investors who want to participate in short funds or leveraged funds. I have been investing in the stock market since 1993 and fully understand the risks inherent in these types of funds. When used properly to hedge a portfolio they can be very important. I strongly suspect that rules like this one being proposed will end up hurting the
I don’t know a ton about finance or the stock market. I know less about options and derivatives (I did watch a PBS program about Brooksley Born once) and that is all I really knew on the matter. But I’m learning more every day and the more I learn the more I’m convinced that there is perhaps something rotten in the DTCC, SEC and FINRA… to name a few. It seems financial regulators refuse to do
I currently feel that this needs to tracked more accurately and made public. I personally feel like things are done illegally and this would atleast help make things more transparent. Have also seen suspicious activity done on sort sale restrictions days (selling millions of shares worth of deep in the money calls to force market makers to short a stock to remain delta neutral).

I understand the value of short selling. I understand it is a mechanism to root out unsavory characters that may be using subversive tactics to artificially prop up a stock/ security, however I do not understand why, in 2021 we as retail investors do not have access to the same information at the same time as institutional investors? how is that a free market? again its 2021 and we have internet
