Restricting individual right to invest in funds or any legal investment is not in the best interest of American citizens. Requiring a test of some sort or sign off on the risk involved would be a better option to address these concerns.
The proposed regulations to protect investors from high risk investment options are not in my best interest. Better to have investor warnings when purchasing them but not specific requirements based on knowledge or net worth.

We as retail need full transparency on these synthetic short positons. Hedge funds have an unfair advantage over retail to sway a market one way or the other we need a level playing field. thank you.
Yes! Please make these changes for a more fair and visible market. Individual investors are at a disadvantage when this information is withheld. The market should not favor short sellers as it does now. Congratulations on moving to make the changes the market needs!

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As previously reported in Notice To Members 88-104, the NASD, beginning February 12, 1989, will require its members to respond to requests for trading data using an automated format. The format is consistent
I think its needs to be more transparency in the market get rid of dark pool if investors can't use it FTD needs to be more regulated and stricter naked shorting need to be addressed immediately when it happens and stock manipulation
By reporting FTDs and short positions it would allow for more transparency. It feels as if there are 2 sets of rules. The retail investor does not have all of the information to better equip themselves in their retail strategy. While giving institutions an upper hand.
T-Evening on positions. T-2 makes no sense for the average joe that trades. Times have changed yet Finra has not adapted. All hedge funds should legally have to make their positions public, especially if a short position.
It needs to be more transparent. What is happening with dark pools is unacceptable. There is corruption running rampant throughout the entire market and it's going to make investors lose faith and pull their money out. Shorting needs to be investigated by the SEC!
