Investors have the right to invest their money how and where THEY see fit. It is NOT the government's right to determine whether riskier investments should be available, Freedom of investing and the ability to diversify through hedging and shorting should be the right of every individual, not just wealthier individuals who have many avenues in which to diversify and grow their wealth.
These regulations on leveraged products have much less risk then directly shorting an issue or using leverage or futures. To prohibit them indicates that only the wealthiest have access to such vehicles. How about banning stock buybacks instead? They're used to keep the market crashing as dishonest insiders liquidate their fake companies and get rich.
Pushing unregulated crypto to the masses is nothing short of racketeering. I am a risk professional. Your industry has ZERO creditability in this arena. These products are the only thing protecting retail investors from the FED fueled, financially engineered, derivatives death star. FINRA's attempt at regulation is an indictment on the financial systems lack risk management.
Regularly Use inverse funds as a head to my portfolio. Usually 80% long and 20% short. (Inverse). Provides an excellent hedge to my portfolio. Limiting my Inverse allocation will put my portfolio at higher risk - all the sector in the market go higher every year? Change sector allocation once a year.
I think it's an excellent idea to report short interest positions with more accuracy and transparency, on a more regular basis. I also think FTDs should be reported, again, accurately, and with settlement dates etc in a transparent way.

I am totally opposed to restrictions on purchases of leveraged funds as well as shorting. Stock holders should have the ability to choose what they wish to purchase. This should not be left us to regulators. Public investments should be available to all of the public, NOT just the privileged. Leveraged and inverse funds are important and should be a part of my investment strategies.
I think it's only fair that short positions are reported on the daily. We live in the information age and I don't see any reason for information to be delayed. This would make it fair for all players in the market. Thank you
Can you please do something about the short/naked shorts going on with AMC Entertainment. I’ve heard Citidel Hedge fund has something to do with it. Please make a change for the hard working people of this country.
