In a fair and open market there should be transparency and a level playing field for all investors; be they retail or institutional. The # of shares shorted should be available IN REAL TIME throughout the trading day. Dark pool trading must be eliminated. We can clearly see that large institutions are buying massive quantities of AMC stock (for example) on the dark pool and then flooding the
Short interest should be live data. There is no excuse in this day and age for up to date information available at the touch of a button. The fact we have to wait 2 weeks for this and the information is already 2 weeks out of date just screams that there are underhanded things afoot. Large institutions and hedge funds have an unfair advantage over retailers as they have better access to more data

I would expect firms, banks, funds, institutions to have to disclose short positions as well as naked short interest as it directly affects company stock value which affects investor's investments. Make it a rule and enforce it.
Comment on SEC Proposed Rule #S7-24-15: I am a retail investor who has used leveraged ETF's for the past 12 years. I do not trade in these instruments but have purchased them over time, and have continued to hold them (all for at least five years).

Please update the rules to more accurately report short interest and punish violators of misrepresented position. Clearly this should NOT be done through self-reporting (or at least without regular audits), as the institution have too much to gain by not reporting their positions. If an institution trader is allowed to directly attack a company and negatively effect the price through shorting,
I fully support this effort to improve short interest enhancements. When bad actors are allowed to create a synthetic share out of thin air through dishonesty and illegal activity, they pose the potential to put the entire financial system at risk. If "market makers" are allowed to break rules, including the creation of millions of fake shares, they are given the power to destroy
I as a Investor understand the risks involved in L&I funds before investing on them. So no need for restrictions on these funds. As 90% of stock market scrips are risky anyway, I do not see any problems with these direxion funds. Please do not make any limitation on these. Thanks.
These inverse etfs help me hedge my portfolio in periods of downturn. I don't beleive you have the right to tell me whatvto invest in. These are available for bigbinsitutions in some form or another and are easer for me to use instead of shorting individual stocks myself.
Dear Regulators, Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this proposed regulation. We didn’t choose unprecedented debt or rising inflation. It’s a matter of human rights to allow individuals to choose their positions in the market with intelligence, education, and any capital that could offset the problems that have been created for us. We are trading with depreciating dollars that have
