I 100% support broader and more detailed reporting on short sales. This information would lead to a fairer market through transparency and allow all parties to better understand the marketplace.
You are not doing this to help us! You are doing this to paralyze us. If you really cared about fairness you would prosecute the short sellers and synthetic share creators. Let us invest how we like.
Please reconsider your proposal to limit access to leveraged and inverse funds. Many brokers do not allow shorting in IRAs hence a good alternative is the use of inverse and leveraged funds to allow an investor to hedge and protect a portfolio.
The only time someone wants 2 protect the retail investor in reality is to "aid" the large traders
Why not protect the little guy from short raids and reinstate the uptick rule
I will reply later after I have "cooled" down
I should be able to make my own decisions about what I want to invest in, especially leveraged funds. I cant short items or use options, so leveraged funds allow me to make returns in down markets.
These types of funds actually reduce risk for retail investors who wish to short the market. Conventional short-selling's losses are theoretically infinite while trading inverse funds ensures you only lose a fixed amount of capital.
Dear sirs, I am a small investor, however I should still have the right to purchase inverse funds. If big players have the ability to short the market, I should be able to buy inverse funds as well. Please reconsider.

Individual investors should have available opportunities to invest like professionals without being subject to severe limitations. Being able to invest in leveraged and inverse securities is important to avoid margin or shorting requirements in a negative trending market.
I am a 24 year old investing for the long term and have faith in our economy moving forward, if you can short stocks, why cant you double down on pro shares. Please let us invest!
