I currently feel that this needs to tracked more accurately and made public. I personally feel like things are done illegally and this would atleast help make things more transparent. Have also seen suspicious activity done on sort sale restrictions days (selling millions of shares worth of deep in the money calls to force market makers to short a stock to remain delta neutral). I'm not sure
If the US market looks to be seen as a free market we need to have transparency. Dark pool trading has gone on unregulated to the point of becoming a place where institutional investors can go to hide their elicit trades; this needs to end. All authorized shares should be able to be accounted for at any given time during market hours. Fines and penalties for FTDs and naked shorting of stocks
As a retail investor, I would like to even the playing field with institutional investors by allowing us the same access to information that they have, especially regarding short positions. Also, in addition to that, I would like short positions to have to be reported daily by no later than 30min after closing bell. This is MORE than enough time for them to calculate their total shorts taken that
I’m sure you will get many comments but it would be nice to see more details on how companies are shorted in a given day as well as something which details what is considered market manipulation and how to report it because many “investors” feel they are getting a raw deal with hedge funds.

I appreciate groups attempting to look out for the well being of others, however, I should be the only person making a decision on MY investments using the money I have made. No one else made that money for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public and not restricted.
I understand that there may be tests imposed and "guidelines" to be met before future
Dir Sir/Madam It is none of your business what investments are right for myself and my family. I am an adult capable of making my own decisions and living with the consequences of those decisions. Furthermore there should be no restrictions on the types of investments available to the general public. All investments available to the "privileged few" should be available to the general
I have been using leveraged EFT's for many years and that is a major source of my yearly income. I'm well aware of the risks and I'm willing to take those risks. I've educated myself over the years in most aspects of the stock markets and use options extensively. Most financial advisors know little about using these investment techniques and are afraid to
I feel that the move to restrict access to leveraged and inverse funds is a wrong one. Such a restriction would devoid the retail investor from access to quality instruments that could be significantly beneficial. Several academic studies have underlined the importance of leverage.
