Preventing average retail investors like myself from leverge and inverse equities causes both great harm and disadvantage. Prevent the smaller players in the market from maximizing profits and hedging to balance out losses. Doing so would force greater risk trades by leaving investors such as myself with dangerous decisions such as shorting equities which can easily cause greater losses than
In regards to more frequent reporting of Short Interest to weekly or Daily, I agree. Some of these rules feel in place from older times. But the technology has advanced so that all sorts of possibly nefarious things can take place within the current period. More frequent reporting just seems like a natural adaptation to how automated and speedy modern trades have become.

Remember the whole world is watching and the integrity of the stock
For 10 years, I have held ProShares Ultra-pro short and Pro-short Funds. If you disallow investors from buying these funds, the value of these funds will evaporate since very few will be buying them. So I won't be able to sell them. I will lose everything. I appreciate your intentions and agree with them to some extent, but a sudden drastic refusal to let them be traded will severly
It is dangerous and irresponsible to even threaten removing leveraged ETFs from investors in the middle of a market correction. LETFs provide less risk than short term options trades and meme stocks, and can be fundamental to a balanced portfolio that outperforms the market.
