To Whom It May Concern: I am a self-directed individual investor writing to urge you in the strongest possible terms to avoid creating any new regulatory barriers to investing in leveraged or inverse funds. Your role in upholding basic investor protections is vital to the integrity of the market. While institutional investors can access a variety of financial instruments to take advantage of
Does FINRA only wish to cater to the "RICH CATS" of Wall Street? ETFs are a Godsend to smaller investors, WHOM can NOT open $1 Million + accounts with Goldman Sachs, or Morgan Stanley....and get special privileges (edges) like getting 1st dibs on new IPOs etc. NOW, inverse funds are under review so SMALL fry WILL NOT be allowed to 'short' sectors of the markets?

There needs to be much more clarity, no self reporting, frequent third party analysis, bigger punishmemts for rule breakers. If a HF/MM can earn more than they are fined then its a business cost, they need to be fined double the profit plus face criminal proceedings.

Not the way it was intende, there should be severe fines and punishments. Imagine of everyday people could manipulate and cheat every day .....it would be chaos. They get to do all these tricks to get out of being

It seems as though the regulators are far too concerned with keeping the status quo and are letting hedge funds run wild, in a largely unregulated portion of the market. We have seen numerous short squeezes this year arising from
The problem is not the rules... Rules are there already and you know as well as everyone else that the issue is that the rules are for thee and not for me. Enforce the rules that are on the books and stop not only the naked short selling but also the political hacks working for your agency and all throughout the financial industry regulatory authorities.
