Please protect my interest in leveraged and inverse funds. Inverse funds do a great deal of good in balancing a portfolio. I hope that future regulation widens access to securities, and does not prohibit access based on income, or net worth. I also hope that public access to investment products continues without the need for special testing or license to buy and sell stock and that public
I am asking that you do not take away the right to invest in leveraged and inverse funds. I am 80 yrs old, understand very well how the funds work as I have used them for many years, both losing and gaining just like any other stocks and funds. They have always been explained very well without needing further involvement with restrictions and education.
Changes that I see as needed in no particular order of import: 1. All borrowed shares should be tracked in the system and only be able to be lent out 1 time maximum. No more than 200% of the entire float at one time. Shareholders should be be paid the lending fee directly and then the broker can take out what fee they deem necessary. This transaction should be transparent to the investor and
These changes will be greatly appreciated. It is more than unfortunate knowing there have been companies which went out of business due to coordinated over shorting of their stocks. The enrichment of a few companies, much less individuals, at the expense of thousands of jobs and millions of retirements is abhorrent. I hope we see more changes to stabilize and unobfuscate the markets moving

Re: Request for Exemption from Rule 2790
Dear Ms. Fleischman
I would like to see Finra do a daily count of all short positions in the markets by having all Industry Members report to Finra directly, specifically Dark Pool data. As retail traders as a collective have now become ever increasingly aware of the Synthetic shares which are traded in the dark pools to manipulate the price of a stock.
Thank you for taking the time to hear us. The dark pool manipulation and naked short selling is obvious. Would love to know how many synthetic shares are out there-my guess 5x the float. These criminals at Citadel need to be exposed or else no retail investor will ever trust the stock market when this comes out in the wash! Goodnight!
I really getting tired of these hedge companies driving down the stock every other second total suppression we have everything stacked against us as retail.all this naked shorting, failure to deliver’s , trade off line , hiding short shares in options itm and Otm . They have hundreds of millions shorts hidden and kicking them down the road . Say they covered GME or closed. It mathematically
There needs to be regulations and laws put in place to separate market makers from those able to make trades in the market. How is it a free market when retail investors clearly have a disadvantage compared to hedgefunds. People are losing hope in the market, especially because of what you’re allowing to happen with heavily shorted stocks such as AMC and GME.
I'm not a super smart person to see all the manipulation, naked shorts, illegal activities going on with these hedgfunds against us apes and our stocks AMC/GME.. WE JUST WANT A FAIR CHANCE JUST LIKE THEY HAD FROM THE BEGINING TO HAVE AND MAKE A BETTER LIFE , THATS ALL , THANK YOU SINCERLY MY APE FAMILY AND I..
