Hello, my name is Justin Darrow. I'm pleased to see you're requesting feedback on how to make the stock market more fair, something the SEC doesn't seem to do. When it come to short interest positions, there are 3 things I'd love to see besides the wonderful things you mentioned 1. A T+0 settlement would obviously be the best option. Atleast after market close but buy orders,
I as an educated investor want to make decisions on what I invest in. Public investments should be available to me and all the public not just the privileged.
I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities. I understand quite well what I am investing in when I purchase a leveraged or inverse fund. I understand the risk
I have been investing in these types of securities for a very long time especially if closed end funds are included in the list, it has been well over 20 years and I already understand the risks and have ridden through the crash of 1987, the tech bubble, crash of 2008-2009, etc.
I think these types of investments (leveraged funds, etc.) should not be any more regulated than they currently are
Leveraged and inverse funds have been a life-changing tool in my investment portfolio. Having access to leveraged and inverse funds has allowed me to increase gains during market rallies, as well as hedge my portfolio against multiple market corrections.

An individual should be able to make their own choices regarding what their risk tolerance is and what investment vehicles they choose. Leveraged/Inverse funds are only a small portion of my portfolio. I use this type of an investment as a hedge to protect the rest of my portfolio as well as enhance my overall returns. Over the last 50 years that I have had an active portfolio of investments,
I believe that the proposed regulation in its effort to protect investors way oversteps the line between being helpful by ensuring that investors can make informed choices and being harmful by assuming it knows best what those choices should be and who should be allowed to make such choices and who should be banned from making them.
