Hedge funds and shorts are manipulating the financial system to make revenue gains while retail investors don’t have equal opportunity to realize gains with not as much capital available to them. This creates a very toxic ecosystem within the stock market industry.
I believe it’s important and critical in keeping track and reporting shorting of stocks. We must have a better understanding where all the stocks in circulation is going so we know when the price of a security is manipulated or not. There are so many holes in the system
The hedge funds are not covering any of their shorts on $AMC. It’s horrible that the SEC won’t step in and make them cover. People are losing faith in the stock market and will be horrible for the economy. People won’t want to invest anymore. The SEC needs to make it right.
I support these modifications. I believe that minimizing the reporting gap will limit some types of short selling abuse and market manipulation. Hourly synchronized aggregation and reporting of this data is possible with modern computing and would limit the gray zones in which HFT’s can exploit informational lag.

I use inverse funds to keep my savings from reducing because of inflation. In a time when stocks, bonds and cash are all loosing value, inverse funds are the easiest way to protect my savings. Put options are difficult to understand, and my brokerage will not let me short stocks directly.

I have been an investor since the 80s. I invest in a variety of stocks in the hope of owning a share of each companys profits. It is a business. Throughout the years, stocks rise, fall, and rise again. At times, the whole market tanks. The only way to protect myself as a small investor, is to be able to hold inverse investments. Like shorting individual stocks, inverse vehicles should stay on the
I am against regulating the leveraged and inverse ETFs.
My brokerage co. Fidelity make you read a statement and request that you are able to invest in what they term more aggressive investments. I appreciate the ability to be able to invest in leverage fund instead of having to do it through playing with margins (i.e. loans) and inverse without actually having to mess with shorting a stock.
