Stop trying to regulate retail investors. Information regarding these securities and other more complex investments is readily available. Nobody forces me to buy leveraged funds and the risks are well documented. You need to worry more about the investment whales that constantly manipulate the daily charts!!

This is to inform you that there is no need of enhancements to current rules for Brokerage firms. There is already a warning at Brokerage firms and that is sufficient. We know they are short term and monitor them daily. No change is needed. This is in regards to Leveraged and Inverse ETF's. Please do NOT limit access. I depend upon them!
I use my leveraged funds to hedge various positions. they are useful for reducing the amount of funds necessary for taking a position.
I feel your rules may limit my access to these useful tools.
My brokerage houses provide extensive information and they outline the risks and of these products.

Comments: A custodian of private individual accounts should provide a disclaimer when L&I funds are purchased. It should detail the risks and advise that it is not a long-term holding. No one should be restricted from purchasing these products. An informed individual should scale his or her risk tolerance before purchase.
Comments:Please allow an individual to make his or her own choices. The risk I take are mine, and mine alone. I rely on the SEC to keep thing honest, and to make sure people are informed. I have gained a great deal by employing higher risk index funds, and wish to continue. Thanks

There needs to be accurate, timely, and mandatory reporting guidelines around short interest. Accurate and timely would be the important part for the individual investors. The mandatory reporting would be for institutional investing. There are currently too many ways to misrepresent and obfuscate actual short interest information.
I’m looking for (and I’m sure MANY other investor as well ) further transparency on short sales and short interest reporting, I feel as though there might not be all the information available to the public and need reaffirmation that I can trust the market I’m investing in, many thanks!
