Short Sale Reporting must include all open short positions, such that FINRA and the public can have an accurate and complete understanding of how many shares have been sold short for a given security. Without this transparency, FINRA and SEC rules and laws will continue to be broken, without accountability and faith in the US markets, as a whole, will continue to be eroded. I submit that FINRA
The proposed rules for investing in Crypto are absurd. If you want to regulate, then make sure investments are on the up and up. Leave investors alone. You are attempting to treat investors like they dont have the right to make their own investment decisions. Crypto could be a serious and viable strategy for people looking to diversify portfolios. And if people dont invest wisely in Crypto,
I’m not educated nor do I speak/write English well. But the way the stock market works, it seem that the rich have a different rules while retail have very limited tools. Why are they allowed to short stocks without reporting? Why are they allowed to manipulate prices via dark pools? It’s like we are watching a game of football, betting which sides win, but retail only see 25% of the field while
Bring back the protections put in place by FDR and worked for 75 years! The uptick rule, the prohibition against naked shorting for EVERYONE, strong enforcement of predatory stock manipulation, etc... The most powerful forces on Wall Street prey on small investors, we the people, and it needs to stop! They are parasites at the expense of jobs and the savings of everyday Americans. Do the right
I would like to comment on the rule to limit access for retail investors to "complex" instruments. As an infrequent trader, I understand the risk involved in investing. Those were clearly explained by online brokers I use and reinforced by all the research I've done and many years of trading I have. That said, leveraged and inverse funds are important tools that help hedge risks
The stock market should be open, transparent, and only minimally regulated to prevent predatory or scam-like investments. People should be generally free to invest in whatever they choose whether that be bitcoin, inverse funds, "traditional" funds, individual stocks and bonds etc... etc... Why don't you spend more time investigating, or regulating, why and how nearly
It has come to my attention that there maybe regulations imposed on investors who invest in Inverse ETF's. I am a very small investor. My account size is less than $50,000. However, I use these ETF funds as a counterweight to my 401k investment accounts and other investments.
I am not an uneducated investor, and am well aware of the risks of investing, having traded both Futures

I am losing faith in the Regulations governing the Securities Market! As a retail investor I believe that the provably widespread practice of naked shorting dilutes the share pool of companies that I believe in which artificially lowers stock prices. It is a method that predatory short hedge funds use to drive stock prices down, rather than allowing the market to engage in true price discovery.
I have been investing for myself for many years now, and I believe it is MY RESPONSIBILITY to understand the risks of investing. Let's be honest here - anyone who invests or even paper trades knows they can lose money, it's the first rule learned. Please stop trying to pretend you are acting on our best interests by restricting our access to important tools needed to manage risk
