I approve of the general sentiment and direction discussed here. Increased reporting depth and frequency in these areas will create a better view of market for FINRA and will allow more granular analyses and understanding of potentially challenging issues and situations facing the market and investors. Knowledge through transparency is key to healthy markets
You have no idea how your regulation will close off the ability of small investors to grow their investments to retire in a better space. Why you favor Wall Street and not Main Street, I don't understand. Public traded investments should be available to all of the people, not just the already rich billionaires.
My personal investment strategy incorporates leveraged ETFs to better and more effectively hedge and grow capital in my personal accounts. These products are more cost effective and liquid than using otc & listed options or other margin-like products and facilities. Do not ban or limit their use by individual investors!
Stop letting Gary Gensler and others like him be the tool of the banks to only benefit them. Individual investors can make decisions about their future better than the bought and paid for government officials. Leave us alone. We need investment tools to protect our own future.

What happened to the government's position of income equality?
This is ridiculous. Rather than take away the few tools (like inverse ETFs) that investors use to help protect themselves from unfair markets, perhaps it would be better to focus on fining those manipulating the markets for their own selfish gains. The way these markets are run, rigged against the little guy, is a disgrace.
(a) Leveraged and inverse funds allow small retail investor like me to hedge/ protect against the massive swing we are having in the market due to the tremendous leverage available to hedge/ institutional funds
(b) We understand that there are fees/ costs and risks associated with these leverage and inverse funds, but it is better to have them, than not!
Everyone should be allowed to invest into the new markets like cryptocurrency or NFTs or web3 but we also need fair and balanced regulations that protect investors from fraud and rug pulls from bad actors or cryptocurrency companies who are not being prosecuted at this time! Make this a personal goal to change cryptocurrency for the better.
