Taking away the use of leveraged and inverse Etfs or limiting their holding time is unfair to retail investors who rely on these products and approach them with due diligence. Leveraged Etfs are not inherently dangerous. Knives are sharp and hurt like [REDACTED] sometimes but we don't ban them from public use. Let the emphasis be on better education and disclosure, that makes sense. But the

A financial windfall might seem like an uncomplicated blessing, but found money of any size requires thoughtful management to maximize its full potential. Beneficiaries might find that they have an urge to splurge, are unsure how to invest their assets, or are targeted by fraudsters—any of which can lead to a money blunder.
Creating synthetic shares is the same as counterfeiting. Put some teeth in your fines. Rigt now, the fines are so small, it's just a cost of doing business to these big companies.

I have been trading stocks for the better part of 8years, I feel like we need the utmost transparency with regards to short interest data.

I do not believe regulators should be able to choose which investments may be proper for me to invest in. Leveraged investments allow me to achieve the level of returns that I want with only having to risk 1/2 to 1/3 of the amount of money that I normally would. Inverse funds help me hedge against losing gains in other funds. Having a well rounded portfolio is always better than half a strategy.
It does not serve public interest nor protect investors to restrict inverse or leveraged ETFs. The cost and tax efficiency of these vehicles are some of the only ways the public can implement constructive hedging instruments akin to institutions. Even better: they are important liquidity providers and trade in the open marketplace vs. bilateral prime brokerage arrangements that unwind in a
How about you guys make sure everyone is square about ethics and close politicians loopholes first. Nancy Pelosi and her husband are better investors than Warren Buffet. Having over 60% returns where Warren has never gotten over 20%. You think that has something to do with their access to inside information?
