Dark pools should be illegal, not fair for the average investor. People are starting to lose faith in a rigged system that only helps the 1% . Synthetic shares should be illegal. Total shares of a company should be verified and synthetics should be removed , the system is rigged for the elites. Shorting should be reported on a daily basis. Crypto should be used as a replacement for a stock , so
Hi FINRA, Please take care of the dark pool and short sale activity that's recently murdering the integrity of the U.S market. Some "meme" stocks might not have any fundamentals behind them, but the level of [REDACTED] going on with the hedgefunds controlling time & space is unbelievable. In June and July, dark pool trading has accounted for 60/70% of the trading volume,
As a retail investor i’m strongly in favour if these changes to the gathering and publishing of data regarding short positions and the regulation of options based synthetic-share creation. These rules are a strong step forward in protecting the interests of everyday shareholders, those who invest the most, and have the most to lose when abuse, corruption, malfeasance, or negligence are allowed to
Please do not add more hurtles to investing in inverse ETFs and leveraged ETFs.
Ive used several ProShares leveraged inverse/ short ETFs to act as over night insurance for my bond and equity funds, i.e to reduce loss when fear is roiling the markets. I am in my late 50s, I also trade long ETFs where I hold for brief periods to improve my overall return. I consider both long and short, leveraged
As a regular retail investor, my sole activity involves using leveraged and inverse ETFs and ETNs that are designed to track volatility either long or short. I trade and/or hold these products both buying long and selling short, and buy and sell options on them. Taking away my access to these would set to waste the 12+ years I have spent studying and refining my strategies and would completely

I truly believe there is a place in ones portfolio for leveraged and inverse funds. In fact, if used correctly, the can minimize the risk in a portfolio. I've used inverse funds as a short term hedge during the Covid crash of 2021 and during the recent market correction. By investing 10-20% of my portfolio in these inverse funds, I was able to reduce volatility and manage risk
I strongly feel that American investors such as myself should continue to have the right to invest in leveraged & inverse ETF's if we so choose. To have some regulatory body make that decision for us I feel is un-American, un-called for and unnecessary. I have been investing in leveraged & inverse ETF's since 2013 and I continue to invest in them because of the great
I am losing faith each day the actions by irresponsible parties continue to be ignored. T+2 isn’t concerning until the individual demands it. My broker as with many others are left scrambling looking for my shares in a corrupt market. 21-19 would be a critical step in the right direction. Investors need clarity and clear communication on the short interest side of heavily shorted stocks. I
I think it's apparent that you know what's going on here with AMC & Gamestop and many other stocks. I just want my voice to be heard and many others do as well. The short sellers have dug a deep hole for themselves, why are they continuously being helped out? How is it fair? This is supposed to be a fair market place. There should be a limit on how long you have to short a stock
There is an obvious lack of regulation when it comes to short positions. The regulation that exists does not offer enough punishment to deter unlawful actions. The threat of jail time would be a much better deterrent for fraudulent activity as compared to fines. Isn't this how it works for everyone, or just the lower classes? There are two currencies; money and time. Criminals can make their
