I support complete transparency. Please make all short positions public information to remove barriers that serve the 1%.
Please report short position data daily as well as more data in general for retail thank you
Inverse funds provide a far safer way to hedge investments to the downside vs. shorting stocks directly. They play an important role in any portfolio.
I shouldnt have to take a test to use inverse funds, its not right when shorting a stock, using puts and calls are essentially equal in results.
A regulator should not restrict the ability of a private investor to invest/trade any leveraged ETF nor should there be any restriction on shorting the market through an ETF.
As an investor in a short ETF of the S&P, I take exception to regulators entering into the process of what ETFs, I can purchase. I am well aware of the risks associated with it.
Allowing only certain investors the ability to invest in these funds is nothing short of criminal, unfair and anti American. I oppose restrictions to my right to invest.
I do not want to change the rules. I am happy being able to invest in leveraged and short funds. Shame on investors who dont do the research.
Comments:I understand how these ETF's work and am aware they are used for short term moves . I have been using them for several years now .
I would like to choose the public investments that are right for me without any restrictions. I am capable of understanding funds such as Funds Selling Short and their risks.
