Subject: Investors ability to trade "complex products" - including leveraged and inverse funds (L&I Funds).
Dear Regulators,
I am Kamala Chandrasekaran, 58 years old and I like to voice my opinion regarding your proposal on limiting access to Leveraged and Inverse ETFs (complex products).
Educated Investor: I like to inform you that I am an educated investor in the
I strongly oppose these proposed regulations! This country was founded on the premise that the average citizen has enough common sense to take care of himself and decide what is appropriate as far as his personal finances are concerned. This is just another example of governmental overreach and the end result will be that only the very wealthy will have access to these investments. In my
Every share needs to be tracked. Every share should easily be accounted for and able to be located. If we are going to allow for share lending then only allow for the share to be lent once. Every order should be delivered T+2. If a fTD occurs there needs to be a steep penalty/fine ex: 10x cost penalty. Every short position should be updated with FINRA daily. Self reporting is a joke and
For some of us who are young and do not have the financial means to invest meaningfully in the stock market, it is imperative to have access to leverage to smooth out the amount of investable assets throughout our lifetime. If, for example, a recession were to occur shortly before my retirement, when my earnings potential is highest and I likely have the most amount of money invested, I would be

I believe increasing the frequency of reporting would be extremely beneficial, transparency is one of the things that needs to be improved in many aspects in regards to the stock market as a whole. As of right now it is very difficult to find any accurate information on a variety of topics such as mergers, algorithms, the relationships between brokerages and hedge funds etc. short interest and
[REDACTED] Instead of holding naked short sellers accountable, or exposing crime in dark pools, or punishing the racketeering and fraud running rampant on Wall Street, you [REDACTED] who claim to operate as a regulatory agency have conceived a plot [REDACTED] retail traders instead. Because you [REDACTED] think the little people shouldn't be able to invest in stocks that your supposedly
To Whom It May Concern:
Over the last couple of years, I have been trying to manage my retirement investments much more actively. It's very important to hedge some of my positions, particularly in the current economic environment. An important part of my strategy is to be able to invest in inverse ETFs, as I am unable to short individual stocks in my retirement accounts. I do not think
I do not want to sound uneducated or stupid, but I think that there a lot of shady dealings going on in the stock market and I'm afraid that this will effect my portfolio. Please make all short positions be reported. Do we need dark pools? yes! but I wanna see that information too. We all want a free and fair market. I'm not here to be a financial patsy, for crying out loud gas is like
