I am deeply disturbed by the proposed regulation limiting access to leveraged and inverse ETFs (which are publicly-traded securities) to those with high net worth who pass a specialized regulatory exam and then jump through a series of administrative and timing-related hoops.
Leveraged and inverse ETFs are one of the few methods that the little guy has in order to protect his or her investments
Thank you for your time. I have a few questions. The dark pools were intended for a major seller of own investment to unload a large block of shares without forcing price up or down. It is now a daily assurance that 60-70% trades are in a dark pool vs open market NYSE for small share count trades? Prominently AMC and GME. Most of the rest of the market is 6-9% dark pool.

Come on people why arent individual investors allowed to make money no matter the market direction? I recall the federal government tried to ban short selling financial stocks and indexes during the financial crisis in fall of
Domestic and international retail investors are in dire need for a transparent and fair free market.

"Total Shares Outstanding (TSO) and Public Float: FINRA also is considering including in FINRA-disseminated short interest data, where available, the TSO and public float for securities." This should be done on a more frequent basis. Prefer weekly reporting on the Public Float - number or percentage of shares available, number or percentage of ownership, specifically institutional,
Please put these new rules in place. We need transparency in our markets, especially with regard to short selling and dark pool activity. Naked shorting, short ladder attacks, spoofing, as well as online intimidation is taking place on stocks like AMC and many others for that matter and it just isn’t fair to the American people.
