The gambling of Wall Street must end. The entire world economy is at risk from the gambling of a few bad actors. Company's can be destroyed by dark money pools short selling and pushing down stock prices rather than their ability to perform for its clients and in the market place.

This is to inform you that there is no need of enhancements to current rules for Brokerage firms. There is already a warning at Brokerage firms and that is sufficient. We know they are short term and monitor them daily. No change is needed. This is in regards to Leveraged and Inverse ETF's. Please do NOT limit access. I depend upon them!
I believe, having once invested in these funds, that they are not useful vehicles for investors. They are trading vehicles and should come with a big notification of such. They do not perform as one night expect and therefore should be closed out. Any trader can accomplish the same by either shorting the index outright or using derivatives.
There is no need for any additional regulation on these funds. The risk is spelled out on the prospectus. These products give the average investor the ability to trade the indexes, either long or short, in a reasonably priced fund, as opposed to trading the DIA at 338.00 per share. Level the playing field, not the other way around.
Please don't assume that investors don't understand the risk associated with leveraged investments. If you want to fix the market, then don't allow the short interest of a stock to exceed the total float of the long interest. Verify that ETN are properly backed so wild market swings can be covered.

Comment on Short Interest Position Reporting Enhancements; there needs to be a STOP to borrowing/manipulating stocks through Dark Pool trading. Market Makers should NOT be allowed to sell shares that do not exist. Allowing such fraudulent practices violates the law of Supply and Demand.
I support all proposed further regulations for market transparency in regards to short positions and FTD’s, hedge funds and institutional investors have an unfair advantage over the retail investors and are able to manipulate the market to their liking while hiding their shady activities.
