I am against the passage of Proposed Rule #S7-24-15. I have found leveraged and inverse ETF's easy to understand and trade. The risk involved in high beta stocks can be higher. I prefer to trade long in lieu of short selling and puts. Inverse EFT's are my vehicle for being long but bearish.
I use leveraged and inverse ETF to hedge my positions in stocks and also to increase or decrease my long and short positions.I also take a position in the ETF when i want a position in a stock index and not an individual stock.These are easy and simple to understand and use and are a big help to small investors.Keep the system as it is working!.
Close dark pools and cancel shorting stocks it is unfair to retail investors and the companies that are going out of business. This system is rigged and unfair to the investors and worker.

Utilization of such settlement avoidance techniques is a violation of Federal law. That is, crimes -- a (RICO)
We (retail investors) simply need to know more information on short positions on all available platforms - free or premium services alike. The information should also be as accurate and as current as possible with little to no delays for the entire market to participate fairly. Thank you.
Transparency in every corner of financial reporting is REQUIRED... NO EXCEPTIONS! Any changes within short sale reporting should spread more transparency and penalties for inaccuracies whether, intentional or not should be heightened to maximum. Financial white collar crimes are not taken serious enough
