Much more transparency is needed in regards to the number of current short sale positions including percentage that have been closed on a daily basis. For far too long retail investors have been dealt a bad hand going against hedge funds who have access to all the detail we do not. Please make the markets what they are supposed to be which is free and fair. Please enforce and intensify the rules
Dark Pools need to be gone, if the market is fear and fair. Where is the transparency? Short Sale Restrictions must be enforced, currently it’s a joke. Failure To Deliver must be fully enforced. If I sell something I don’t deliver the items but I keep the money, that’s stealing! Currently your rules are joke. No retail investor benefits from your rules if they are no fully enforced. If I drink
I think all reporting of shares shorts etc should be reported on a daily bases to all with alot more emphasis on stoping manipulation, including making dark pools ilegal and getting rid of them, also making fines more appropriate to the crime instead of pocket money fines, I ve been involved in the US stock market for a year now and all I ve seen is market manipulation which should be against the
I think it’s important to ALL investors that all short shares/failure to deliver shares/ dark pool shares be reported on a honest and legal standing.

I am an active individual investor, investing my funds in both IRAs and taxable accounts with Charles Schwab brokerage. I use 2X and 3X leveraged ETFs with some frequency to increase the return in both types of accounts. Less frequently, but periodically, I use an inverse fund to effectively short the market when it is in a downdraft phase. I use SH and DUST. Both leveraged and inverse ETFs are
I think I have the ability to select the assets I invest in. I have an MBA in finance which I think gives me the ability to select the investments I make. However, I think public investments should not be limited to which member of the public invests in them. While I have passed several Finra exams, I don't think every member of the public should be required to before investing in leveraged

To whom it may concern, Do not take away my right to invest in a leverage and inverse funds nor should you restrict us small investors. You do not restrict the large firm to short stock or inverse funds but you go after the little guy so you give the big large firms the edge to win and beat the little guy. We small investors want to invest and have level playing field. If you really want to make
Limiting investors choice to determine the best investments based upon their goals is unwarranted and detrimental Investors who use unique investment strategies (ie options, crypto currencies, shorts, high yield bonds, leveraged ETFs) should not have to incur an additional regulatory burden.
