Comments:I cant believe the FINRA what to interfere with the small investors making a few extra percentage points on their money. Leveraged Efts are one of the only places a small investor is on a level playing field in the marketplace.Sure theirs risk but thats what made America the land of opportunity. A Small investor can go long or short just like the futures without worrying about the
I have been a market professional for over 50 years, now retired). I advocate free use of levered and short (INVERSE) instruments as they offer hedging and leverage opportunities to every investor.

I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of 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, like leveraged and inverse funds.

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
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
