My comments submissions are: 1. The purpose of this change is to improve transparency within the market to counter fraudulently or bad actors having the ability to circumvent reporting mechanisms for their own gain, and often the loss that retail investors suffer as a result when operating within the market.

I have been trading 3x leveraged and inverse ETF's for many years because it allows me to go long or short without having to open a margin account.
