The way the stock market is set up for the larger entities to easily outweigh performance of the average retail trader is completely absurd. With stocks that are being massively shorted, much like Tesla (TSLA) was back a few years ago, and other stocks now like Gamestop (GME), AMC Theater (AMC) , Nokia (NOK) and many more, it allows such a distrust in the system for who can make money FAIRLY.

Stop trying [REDACTED] with retail investors! Enforce the rules on short hedge funds, stop dark pools and naked shorting. Retail has removed hedge funds from operating and we can remove your agency as well. Retail ain't nothing [REDACTED]
The risks of trading leveraged and inverse ETFs are well known. Retail traders who can trade options or futures should be able to trade such ETFs without restriction. Its less expensive and easier to do than trading options and futures and dealing with margin etc.

This is controlling and manipulative ways to not allow person who are not stock regulators to purchase stock. This is a travesty to say the least.
This possible new regulation makes no sense as you already have to be approved by many brokers to invest in leveraged funds. This seems like a new way to limit the possible returns an investor can make, as well as cater to more institutional investors rather than individuals.
I am opposed to changes in my ability to invest in inverse or leveraged securities, because it is an important part of my investment work. I am very well informed about all of this, and these proposed changes would cost me a lot of money. I will take you to court if necessary.
Comments: I think leveraged and inverse ETFs should be available to retail investors. They give access to the ability to hedge and provide more liquidity then options. They are much safer then options as well. Disclaimers on these instruments make sense but I think it is a disservice to limit access to these items for everyday retail investors.

So it doesn’t make sense to me that an entity that holds my shares for me, like Robinhood for example, can lend my shares to someone else then the borrower uses my shares to short and drive down the price. They benefit by achieving their goal of lowering the price, the
The elements of your proposed legislation is unfair, arbitrary and capricious.
I opposed it on the grounds that it is discriminatory, and an intrusive overreach of a regulatory agency.
I believe that if banks and large investing institutions such as corporations can invest in a financial instrument then so should a free American have that right as well.
