I would like all sides to play by the rules. I think players that go short have the right to do so but should have to disclose their postions just like going long through a 13f or what have you. Every share in existence should be able to be tracked to every person that owns said shares, it is already being done in cyrpto. Overall an emphasis on transparency in the market needs to be better.
NASD would like to remind members of their obligation to file the appropriate FOCUS reports, Schedule I filings, Annual Audits, Customer Complaints and Short Interest reports by their due dates.
I think retail is extremely desirous of seeing more frequent reporting and as much of that made publicly available as possible. At least of a weekly or bi-weekly basis. I believe the currently attempted short squeeze is bring to light that lack of transparency is being used to commit fraud and establish predatory roles against companies. The watering of stock has been an issue for nearly a
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest in TQQQ, SQQQ and other leveraged products. I have been investing in these products for years and they are no more risky that any other stocks in the market. Anybody trading in the market has to understand that there is risk involved and chooses to take that risk...regulators should not try to babysit investors by trying to tell them which stock or fund

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
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
Frankly, I find this federal overreach. This regulation would be taking away my ability to hedge long positions in my portfolio with leveraged short positions, thus allowing me to reduce execution costs, margin costs etc. Frankly it also props up the buy side dealers in their offering of more expensive hedging products. These types of ETF's are a simple way to hedge and do not need any
I use leveraged funds to hedge my accounts in volatile markets. They are a particularly efficient and inexpensive way to do that in a short-term way. Regulations make short-selling as a hedge very difficult and cumbersome; the ability to access leveraged ETFs levels the playing field for retail investors who do not use brokers. I understand the risks and decay of the instruments, but those are
This smells like a rat to me. I have seen leveraged ETFS taken away prior to large moves like the Natural Gas ETF UGAZ and USLV right before silver went up. It seems everyone is fine when a vehicle is a one way street to wall street pockets shorting them but as soon as the regular guy has a chance it is taken away. The risks to these are clearly spelled out and no action is required or warranted
