The sale of a call option and purchase of a put option with the same expiration date and strike price provides equivalent exposure to the price of a stock as a short sale. Despite this equivalence, this synthetic position does not currently create a short position that would be reportable under the current version of Rule 4560. The extent of use of this and other types of synthetic short
You should only be able to short positions you own. Dark pools should be off limits and to curb that, I believe DTCC 005 now requires, or will require, to mark/stamp each shorted stock as to prevent them from being naked shorted. We need to punish the market manipulators who are naked shorting shares they don't own (Naked shorting). Without oversight, this market manipulation will continue
I have been safely and profitably investing in a leveraged, inverse fund for years in taxed and tax-deferred accounts.and have been investing in stocks, bonds and derivatives for decades. Leveraged, inverse funds are only a small part of my investment portfolio and are an even smaller part of my net worth. I understand the risks and mitigate them by buying shares only when the risk is relatively
I have watched the market manipulation since March on this stock. Putting on sell pressure by posting large sell orders and them disappear when they outcome is what they are wanting in the buys side. They are playing with our hard earned money and the playing field is skewed. Orders not being filled and platforms rejecting orders that match the same orders from short sellers. Enough is enough.

I am against more nanny state regulations. We as individuals need to be able to make our own decisions.
People with high net worth are also incapable of making financial decisions, they just got lucky.
If this investment is inappropriate for individual investors such as myself, then why is it even an option? Just remove it for all investors.
I am capable of making my own investment decisions and
I am very disappointed how financial regulators are trying to take away power of individual investors to freely invest in public ETFs - leveraged or inversed - which are listed in the public market because they were approved by financial institutions. Yet, the same financial regulators do not place any restrictions on investing "professionals" who short the market or individual
To: FINRA Regulators, Kind Regards. I have been trading ETNs, leveraged securities, futures, puts and calls etc. since 1985. I understand the works and functions of these somewhat complex trading methods. I started with about $10,000.00 and now have multiple trading accounts approximately in excess of $2,000,000.00 I respectfully request that you do not take away my rights to buy and sell listed
Please don't add additional burdens on investors to invest in products like inverse or leveraged funds. I use these in my own investment strategies and are excellent choices. It removes the need for trading on margin which is important for IRAs. These choices should be available for all investors, not just wealthy people or the so called sophisticated investor. Removing these options
I do not need a regulator to tell me when and how I can invest in leveraged or inverse funds. They are easy products to understand and much less complicated than options.
