Please leave leveraged and inverse ETFs in tact. They allow simple investors like myself buy and sell simple ETFs like stock without having to do complex short trades or PUTS&CALLS which require more sophisticated trading knowledge. The ETFs work very well and simply for average investor. We realize the risk and losses are contained by broker if necessary. Thank you.
Leveraged and inverse ETFs are important to my investment strategy because I don't know how to trade options or short the stocks. It's easy to understand and easy to buy and sell. Please don't take it away from us. Otherwise I will have harder time to accumulate enough savings for my retirement. Please leave it alone, there are tremendous reasons for leverage and
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.
Inverse funds are an important investment vehicle that should be made and kept available to the average investor. They offer investors the ability to hedge other investments and protect themselves from adverse market moves. To remove this tool from investors would be short sighted and negatively impact the average investor by not allowing this tool for them but to continue to allow it for high
Please stop meddling in the small investors arena. You have so ineptly and corruptly tilted the scales for the large investors that you should let market participants decide. Your efforts in the name of safeguarding investors is nothing more than an attempt to shelter large investors and institutions.

This is the most rediculous proposal I've heard in a long time. Inverse funds allows investors to stay in turbulent markets. Does FINRA believe passing a test makes you a better investor? Answer: NO. Without these products, individual investor choices become; exit the market, short stocks/ETFs, or options. If FINRA takes the proposed action, they will make lemmings out of the average
As an individual investor I do believe that the changes proposed for Rule 4560 regarding Short Interest Position Reporting Enhancements would be beneficial and support transparency for the individual investor. I am delighted to see these new proposals and would like to see them put into effect as soon as possible. Thank you.
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.
FINRA and the SEC aren't doing enough to level the playing field for retail investors and we deserver the right for better transparency in the market. It's clear that illegal shorts are not covering their positions yet the slap on the wrist fines are merely considered the price to do business. This has to change!
I recently joined the stock market. But I see there’s a lot of corruption with short sellers. I hope this can be straightened out so we have a fair market to do trading. Several of my friends are thinking about quitting trading all together if it doesn’t begin to be fair
