The proposed rule is another example of limiting small investors and speculators with the excuse of protecting them. This paternalistic approach only favors the larger investors by making various investment instruments and strategies more difficult to access. This is quite interesting considering it is occurring at a time when it is clear that they will become especially useful. I am completely
Hello - thank you for addressing this and making it a priority. I am primarily invested in AMC but also have shares in other shorted stocks like GME and NAKD. The pricing is being manipulated by market makers and hedge funds in and out of dark pools. Based on what we know as fact, they should have had margin calls multiple times but skirt the rules to push the proverbial can down the road. The
Hello, I find it not only unfair but downright illegal for ANYONE or any FIRM to be able to manufacture shares of stock that they do not own. Often referred to as synthetic shares they seem to be used to manipulate stock prices either up or down at their pleasure and steal hard earned money form the honest shareholders of any given company. How can the honest person decide if an investment in a
There shouldn't be a two day delay in short sale returns and coverage. All the big players on Wall Street get it the day of and yet everyone else has to wait 2 days. How about making the rules fair for everyone and everyone being able to see it the same day. Also I'm sick of algorithmic trading back and forth back and forth back and forth. When you going to outlaw something like that
Hi, I don’t know if this will reach anyone or go anywhere but voices need to be heard so I’m here to put mine in. Truth be told most Americans are realizing the stock market which is supposed to be a fair free market is rigged against us smaller fish. This has led many many many investors to obviously pull out money or join the so called “meme stocks” to put it against the big guys who laugh at
Naked shorts should not exist at all. Citadel and other hedgefunds are creating shares, trading them in dark pools back and forth with each other, and in some cases they dump them back into the market to artificially suppress stock prices. They make millions selling off shares while trying to ruin companies. Why is this even allowed. As a regular person, I can’t make up items and sell them on
Hello, I would like to see more transparency and effective regulation (and enforcement) on Short Sale Reporting. As a retail investor, my confidence in our American stock market is very low and leaves me feeling cheated due to these "behind the scenes" loop holes that large corporations and institutions can utilize to benefit themselves through bending the rules through clever exploits

I have been investing in TQQQ for 5 years now. I use a quarterly rebalancing method that has benefitted from TQQQ's high degree of volatility. When it is high, I sell off a portion. When it is low, I buy more shares with the money set aside in bond funds for this purpose. I understand the risks associated with this product and trade accordingly. I recognize the possibility of losing
I have been investing in these types of securities for a very long time especially if closed end funds are included in the list, it has been well over 20 years and I already understand the risks and have ridden through the crash of 1987, the tech bubble, crash of 2008-2009, etc.
I think these types of investments (leveraged funds, etc.) should not be any more regulated than they currently are
