I have been using leveraged & inverse ETF for several years. I understand the risks involved. These ETFs allow me to profit with the large players. The inverse ETF allow me to effectively short equities inside my IRA. I have a self directed IRA. Removing the ability to use leveraged & inverse ETFs will reduce my investment gains
SEC proposed rule s7-7-24-15 would create an environment would remove the abilities to protect long term investments through a short term volatile environment. The rule would ultimately create additional volatility in the equities markets by eliminating the open access to inverse funds to the open market. I strongly recommend against adopting this rule.
I, not the regulators, should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family, Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. It just seems reasonable that Public investments should be available to all of the public and not just the privileged, I use the inverse funds because they are cheaper than shorting the much higher priced opposite funds
As a retail investor, I think it is so important to get accurate data. With the amount of fines and rules that have been broken by brokers, we cannot allow for a self-reporting system to continue. We need massive overhauls in our system and it starts with having accurate information, especially when it comes to short interest.
The events leading out of Jan 2021 and continuing into this year should make it abundantly clear that leaving any positions unreported or obfuscated results in a lack of faith in the fairness of US markets. That paired with a speculative bubble puts all investors at risk. I request that FINRA pushes for more reporting of short positions.
In todays modern age, short data can be uploaded daily. Within 3 days it should be published. I think FINRA should publish it as most publishers delay publishing and possibility delay to game profits or other motives. Please report daily and within 3 days have FINRA publish to public
I’ll keep it short (no pun intended) and simple: as a retail investor, all I am asking for is a fair, level playing field. Currently, we are not getting that. Please adjust and enforce the rules so all retail investors receive the same timely information and opportunity as the Hedge Funds. Thank you!
I want more transparency with hedge funds sharing the short interest as it always seams that the retail investors are always left in the dark here! Why can they fail to deliver options in the money abs never report then accurately or even buy them ever!!! It’s just ridiculous and needs to stop!
I wholeheartedly am in support of greater transparency in the markets, especially as related around short sales and the so called 'dark' pools. Please level the playing field and turn the U.S. Stock market back into a place for investing and not a casino built and maintained for the sake of the rich to exploit the people. Thank you.
Many times I’ve visited your site and don’t believe the short interest numbers to be correct . We need transparency in the markets so the media cannot twist words however they seem appropriate for their agenda . I see the world moving to fascism it’s started to look the the beginning of world war 2 .
