Make SI private and only for the purpose of enduring that shares held short are not greater than the float. Investors are tired of the memesters manipulating markets trying to force shorts to cover/margin calls.
I only have one issue. If it's 'PUBLIC' stock then I should be able to buy - isn't that what public is? That's all: PUBLIC = PUBLIC // PUBLIC = PRIVATE- make up your mind regulatory - thx for reading.

The private investors should be able to choose the investments he desires to buy in the service of building wealth for his family.
I have used leveraged and inverse funds to great success in hedging my bets against the changing investment landscape.
I found it very alarming to hear that FINRA is considering restricting access to leveraged ETFs. It is very concerning to hear that regulators believe private investors are incapable of understanding the risks associated with a leveraged asset like the ones that I utilize in my investment strategy. These investments undoubtably are more complex than an individual stock, but it is my belief that
