I want much more transparency in the market, especially when it comes to buy/sell orders in ATS. All information market makers have when it comes to filing for a short position should be just as accessible to retail traders. Lastly, short positions buys/sell should be disclosed the day of filing. No more T+ nonsense. Thank you kindly, I hope this helps.
A human must be allowed to purchase complex products in order to earn money.
FINRA will not tell savings banks to pay truly worthwhile interest on personal money they hold for depositors fairly considering the fees and interest rates they charge.

I'm a retail investor from Sweden who's been an investor in AMC since January 2021.

I use the leverage etfs to cover the 3 days I would need in some cases for funds available. In other words I use a method that follows the trend and goes long and short depending current conditions. So I use a double and double inverse at 50% of my total amount to get the same effect of go full size long and short. If it was not for these funds I would not be able to do this in my small account.
I use a bond price inverse/leveraged ETF to protect myself against rising interest rates. I do not want any restrictions against my use of this fund or any other inverse/leveraged ETF.
The Federal Reserve has promoted non market interest rates for years- to my detriment. If you want to regulated someone- try them.
To whom it may concern:
I was very concerned to hear of the proposed regulatory changes for leveraged and inverse funds.
While I support the surface notion of FINRA protecting retail investors, I do not believe restricting access to these "complex investments" is in any way an appropriate step.
Education is a worthwhile goal, but mandating licensing or other knowledge tests
I think individual investors are severely disadvantaged when compared to other market participants when it comes to the issue of access to information.

Anything you can do to get more data in the hands of the public is a step in the right direction.
