Synthetic shares need to be penalized and/ or outlawed. Additionally, dark pool trading needs to be stopped. Brokerages that constantly short stocks should be required to reconcile at market value no later than 15 days following the first FTD prior to being allowed to trade openly on that stock.
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or “Commission”) a proposed rule change to amend FINRA Rule 6730 to require members to append modifiers to identify delayed Treasury spot and portfolio trades when reporting to FINRA’s Trade Reporting and Compliance Engine (“TRACE”).
Comments: These L&I funds allow for simple day trading without the complexity of initiating margin and shorting procedures to obtain the same results. The platform on which I trade notes that these funds are not for long term investments and it details the risks. These funds are what allow me to easily outperform the market. Without them, I would need to waste an inordinate amount of time
Comments:I am an individual investor who trades ETFs. I strongly request you don't try to control my trading because you are trying to protect the person who would use a hair dryer in a bathtub full of water. In other words you can't fix stupid. So stop trying to fix it by limiting everybody else who are capable of reading and writing.

I clearly understand your concern about investors making uninformed investment decisions on options and complex products specifically to leveraged or inverse exchange-traded products. However,
The Monthly Short Sale Transaction Files provide detailed trade activity of all short sale trades executed and reported to a FINRA <a href="/filing-reporting/trade-reporting-facility-trf">Trade Reporting Facility (TRF)</a> or FINRA’s <a href="/filing-reporting/alternative-display-facililty-adf">Alternative Display Facility (ADF)</a> during normal market hours as well as after-hours. The Short Sale Files include only trades reported to a TRF or ADF for public dissemination purposes (i.e., media-reported trades).
Please consider my comments on FINRA Regulatory Notice #22-08. Leveraged funds provided on the open market (such as TQQQ, and SQQQ as a short vehicle) provide an equal opportunity for all investors to participate in returns for profitable investments without needing to understand and be involved with complexities of option trades. In an open and free market, such investment vehicles should be
Whereas Federal bureaucrats ought not restrict the rights of citizens to participate freely in financial markets,
whereas I, not distant technocrats to whom I am a mere data point, ought to choose which investments are correct for me and my current investing situation / strategy,
whereas I should be able to access any investment or type of publicly traded security without capricious and arbitrary
