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.
1) Disclosure for short positions 2)Get rid of dark pools 3) Real penalties for hedge funds breaking the law. A small fine does not stop them from breaking the law when they make billions on the crime and get fined thousands.

I am in favor of keeping of leverage ETS, margins are adjusted for leverage; there are agreements investors signs before trading leverage ETF , the agreement explains the clearly key risks involved , potential losses and it is an instrument suitable for short term trading only. i am not why this comes up every now and then
It is very important for me to have financial flexibility with my investments. I dont always think the S&P 500 will go up and I like the ability to invest in an inverse S&P 500 fund without needing to pick individual stocks to short. Please dont take away my investment flexibility.
Individual investor does not have opportunity to create large and risky positions in short or inverse funds .They are useful only as hedging instruments in time of market stress .Primary purpose is a protection of investment and that opportunity should not be removed from retail investors. Leave it alone ,we need it ! Jerry Poklepovic
Instead of focusing control of smaller investors why not focus on manipulation of the market and securities by the larger financial groups practicing Short Selling. That faction ruins a "fair" market for all and is apparently legal theft and manipulation. I thought the point of "fair and equal" market rules and regulations was to prevent theft and
long or short market is a free investment, individual make their own decision and responsibility to put their money to work, based on their own homework, for this reason, government/regulator must get out of way to let people have choice to invest, more important, people are much more smart than regulator.
