The current system is completely rigged against the small retail investor. Short sellers trade synthetic shares and naked shorts back and forth to one another- which creates downward pricing pressure on a stock. How does my 1 share compete against a Short Sellers 1 share that converts into 1000 synthetic shares? How is it possible 3X, 4X, 5X etc the entire float can be traded- with the large
Hello, In regards to the Regulatory Notice issued by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) on March 8, 2022, I would like to express my concern as to the potential limits this rule will impose on some investors for buying and selling of the leveraged and inverse funds or other products deemed to be complex in nature. I regularly use these products as a focal point of my trading

I would like to submit a public comment on possible restrictions on my right to invest in public investments. Especially leveraged and inverse funds.
By way of introduction, I am 60 years old, and make most all of the financial decisions in my household. I am an active investor in stocks, funds, bonds, emerging markets, and crypto. Basically, I trade in multiple and varied securities, and run

As any investor leveraged ETF knows, these are trading instruments, and provide easy access for individuals to take advantage of Market volatility, much more so than options or futures.

Please do NOT restrict my ability to trade leveraged and/or inverse funds. Inverse funds, particularly, are a way for small investors to protect themselves against market declines. Most of us can't afford to short stocks or Index funds, so inverse funds are the only way to profit in a down market. Taking away that option is a terrible idea. In addition, leveraged funds are a great help for
I partially trade with a US broker in order to have more access and freedom in my choice of investment vehicles. Making 'complex' funds only freely accessible to the elite and exorbitantly rich (like in the EU), whilst creating more and more hoops for regular people, will only limit opportunities for regular smaller investors. I should have the freedom to do with my own money as I wish
With the advancements of the blockchain technology, public traded companies should have EACH and every share accounted for. They should be treated as unique financial instruments and should not be abused by being cloned, synthetically recreated, rehypothicated, naked shorted either alone or any combination of these. This should at the very least be considered fraud, at most financial terrorism in
