I as an investor should have free choice to decide what I want to invest. That decision should be made by me not forced by regulators. Instead regulators should limit big players shorting the market with minimum margin requirement.
I 100% support broader and more detailed reporting on short sales. This information would lead to a fairer market through transparency and allow all parties to better understand the marketplace.
SEC Approves Consolidated FINRA Customer Order Protection Rule

Dear Madam, Sir:

I just became aware that you are considering on adding some strict regulations regarding the purcahse of inverse funds and other investments that will affect many investors such as myself.I really hope that is not the case because in my opinon you will hurt more investors than help them. Now I can't speak for every other person that invests in the stock market obviously, but
The only time someone wants 2 protect the retail investor in reality is to "aid" the large traders
Why not protect the little guy from short raids and reinstate the uptick rule
I will reply later after I have "cooled" down
These types of funds actually reduce risk for retail investors who wish to short the market. Conventional short-selling's losses are theoretically infinite while trading inverse funds ensures you only lose a fixed amount of capital.
