Leveraged and inverse funds are highly valued-liquid trading instruments that I find very useful for quickly getting long and or short the market and are frequently used for hedging purposes. These products provide a very effective means to manage capital at market risk and there are no other inexpensive-scalable alternatives available to retail investors. These leveraged products provide
Dear SEC, How dare you go after these instruments. Focus more of your energy on companies which do insider trading and when you do give fines they cannot be less than the money made. Inverse funds and short selling and leveraged funds give some advantages to average investors that institutional investors dont need. Please reconsider thiese "rules". Banks should not trade FDIC leveraged
FULL TRANSPARENCY/ NO MORE LOOPHOLES Investors demand an end to the systemic corruption and crime that is plaguing our markets through un-regulated short selling that siphons real value from companies and investors and PREVENTS proper price discovery. Direct Registering (DRS via a transfer agent) shares is currently the ONLY way to escape the rampant fraud and the ineffective, unenforced
All information regarding what is happening on the stock exchange should be made public, otherwise the „game” is not fair. Short positions should be reporter and tracked daily. The lack of transparency only creates opportunities for Big players. A great example was set by regulators in South Korea who recently made the fines surrounding synthetic/naked shorting/FTDs to appropriately (!) reflect

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

I would like to see more oversight over short interest reporting. Increasing the reporting requirement frequency to daily would be a great start to begin leveling the playing field. The game is rigged right now. Investors will stop investing in equities eventually if they believe (rightfully so) that the whole game is rigged. Firms like Citron Research need to be out of business.
Dear Regulators, (FINRA)
I understand my investments and the risk involved in my trads. I should not have to go through any special process before investing in public securities. The fund I am in allows trades for up markets and down markets which allows me to make up my loss if any by shorting different funds. Like today's market, I have been able to make money for my IRA instead of
I lost over $100,000. To stock symbol GTEH because of the tremendous amount of short selling mostly by some market maker called CDEL out of Chicago. The CEO of GTEH has grossly diluted the GTEH stock. Can you please research this and put an end to it on behalf of the 1000 s of GTEH Shareholders, we collectively have lost over 90% .
It does not make sense to limit leveraged investments as long as I can get a mortgage for 20% or less down payment in an asset which can lose 50% in the matter of months during a recession. How can that be safer than using leveraged and inverse investments? I'll tell you that it's not, in fact is significantly less safer. What harm is it to limit inverse investments when
It is my opinion the markets should be as transparent and fair across all avenues. The lack of transparency and information tilts the scale away from the retail investor and in turn causes distrust towards further involvement. Short information should be required to be disclosed to accurately guage the status and balance of a trade, and to rule out any potential foul play or bad actors.
