Regulation, in almost every instance of its implementation has never been what it has been sold as. It is almost never to protect investors and almost always serve the self interest of those regulating it like a Trading platform removing a buy button from specific stocks.
There are thousands of sources of information for investors to research and understand these complex inverse ETFS. The only
Here’s a simpler solution…. Selling a stock that you don’t own should be illegal. Eliminate (naked) short selling… period.
The blatant manipulation against AMC and GME makes me lose complete faith in the US stock market. I am working on moving my money out of the US stock system. It's clear that our government is bought and paid for. This system with tutes lying about short positions, dark pools, secondary books by brokers, unchecked FTD's and high-frequency trading makes an unfair playing field to where

Even being on the threshold list for 13days they are still not covering and kicking can down the road. All I ask is more transparent and stop the naked shorting.
Leveraged ETF/ETN's are used as a short term balanced risk management strategy that should be available to all investors.
Primary uses are (1) offset a short term market index/asset class overbought/oversold condition without risking individual equity positions, (2) Reduce risk of owning an individual stock that could be subject to excessive price fluctuations, and (3) Balance a
Changes that I see as needed in no particular order of import: 1. All borrowed shares should be tracked in the system and only be able to be lent out 1 time maximum. No more than 200% of the entire float at one time. Shareholders should be be paid the lending fee directly and then the broker can take out what fee they deem necessary. This transaction should be transparent to the investor and
