Hello, I'd like to have a faster access to the Short Interest reporting, receiving the information after more than 2 weeks it was released it leaves the retail investor in disadvantage compared with big entities like MarketMakers, HedgeFunds and investment funds,
I don't believe FINRA even has the capabilities to create a fair and free market as what we have is the literal opposite. If you do, no one has seen it. Synthetic shares are created by the millions with no regulation or repercussion. Shares are traded in dark pools by market makers, then shorted in lit pools to crippled and drive down the price of stocks for market makers and institutions
Shares should have a tracking number on them. Trading would be simplified and tracking fraud would be easy to find. Locates also need to be recorded as soon as they are put in use and or taken off the books when finished using...... IN A CENTRALIZED PLACE FOR ALL TO SEE.... As of right now. creating more float than available is a major problem. When the float of a company is held... The price
Leveraged and inverse ETFs are some of the safest and easiest ways for small investors to access those types of products.

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.

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.
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.
