Comments:I consider retail investors should be given equal opportunity to use Leverage and Inverse funds and ETF. I fully understand the nature and risk associated with this products and that they are not intended for long time investment, as such they must be monitored frequently. Also my broker advice and warns before placing every trade of the risk associated by using this funds and ETFs. I
I dont feel its up to regulators to decide which investments I choose to invest in and which ones are right for myself and my family. The fact that I do not currently carry an investment advisor license I once did and I understand what I am investing in quite clearly. Trying to make me jump through hoops just to invest in a publicly traded stock is government control. We have enough of that
Having traded futures, metals, South African gold mining stocks, and a long-time investor in coins and bullion. I know of the risks of buying leveraged and inverse funds. Please do not limit or complicate my ability to make these purchases as I wish. Right now i am short the stock market with DOG and short intrest rates with TBF; Also long with oil holding USO. My money - my decisions!!!
I've been learning to trade leveraged products for about 6 years and have become successful in the endeavor. My account balance probably won't fit your picture of 'success' but I do know what I'm doing. I expect my balance will soon meet your expectations but I won't be able to reach that point if my activity is throttled. Keep your regulations away from my pursuit
Hello, I am writing to strongly urge that you do not limit the ability for me and the retail investor to be able to invest, hedge, or trade using these important tools. Removing them would only further divide the uneven playing field between retail and professionals. This would further result in the view that only a select class gets to have access to certain tools and opportunities. Thank you
This is is the 21 century I see no reason short interest can not be reported daily. I also see no reason it should not be. This would be one step towards making the market a more fair and safe place to trade. I would expect this in the basic opinion of the majority of all the comments you have. I would be interested in who and why anyone would be against this.

Short sales in general used to manipulate stock price is price manipulation of a stock and should be 100% illegal. With that being said if it is to continue it needs to be live time and 100% trackable. What I am watching happen with short selling, naked short selling and dark pool trading is beyond criminal and needs to be addressed asap. The world is watching.
I would like to see Finra do a daily count of all short positions in the markets by having all Industry Members report to Finra directly, specifically Dark Pool data. As retail traders as a collective have now become ever increasingly aware of the Synthetic shares which are traded in the dark pools to manipulate the price of a stock.
There needs to be regulations and laws put in place to separate market makers from those able to make trades in the market. How is it a free market when retail investors clearly have a disadvantage compared to hedgefunds. People are losing hope in the market, especially because of what you’re allowing to happen with heavily shorted stocks such as AMC and GME.
