I want a more transparent market for retail investors. Live accurate data that isn't 2-30 days delayed and partially reported. It is a distinct disadvantage that retail has when it only gets part of the picture. I also would like to see more regulations and stiffer penalties on naked short selling. The fines that are handed out for FTDs and naked short selling are a drop in the bucket to

Thank you for taking time to read my comment. My biggest concern with this is what's next? The volatility of these products can be large, but there are plenty of very high volume company stocks with even more volatility then these 3x ETFs.
Compare UPRO with GME, AMC, SNDL, even TSLA. I would be at a loss to understand why I would be limited to trade UPRO but still be able to AMC, GME and
