I have been an investor for more then 40 years and own all types of risk assets including stock and bond ETFs, mutual funds, individual equities in every industry, highly risky and rarely successful option trades and leverages and short funds.
I have had more success trading short or leveraged funds then options. Even a seasoned investor like myself looses money regularly with options. Short

Hello, As an active investor in the US stock market i would like to suggest following comments to the rule: Short Interest Position Reporting Enhancements and Other Changes Related to Short Sale Reporting. In order to ensure the integrity of the market, a level playing field for every investor, and deter abusive short selling, there should be an attempt to implement the following: 1) Establish
For a mechanism that is designed to drop the price, why is is shorting permitted whilst the price is already dropping? This does not feel like a mechanism for price discovery, rather a way to force the price down, triggering stop losses from people trying to manage risk. If someone truly believes that the price will drop, let them short during the uptick only. Let there be a central database
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.

This is where I believe it becomes criminal, Shorts need
I am shocked to hear that the regulators are considering restrictions to leveraged funds. Leveraged funds are significantly safer compared to option trades and outright shorting. For example, I use TQQQ to go long and SQQQ to go short NASDAQ, instead of outright shorting NDX. Imagine amount of capital required by small investor who wants to short NDX - or QQQ for that matter - there is no better
I want in depth reports on short positions for any and every stock on the market. I also want reports on how many of those short positions are on loan as well as the strike numbers for each individual option. Secondly, short sellers (mainly institutions) should absolutely not be able to hold MASSIVE uncovered short options. They should be required to have covered puts before placing any puts.
Dear Committee, While efforts to improve transparency are appreciated, I believe there is no mention of dark pools. There needs to be more transparency on shorting going on behind the curtains. Moreover, shorting needs to be regulated. There is certainly no need to short a business if there is no evidence of foul play by the businesses. Running businesses into the ground doesn't allow fair
The once a month short reports a a dis advantage to a ll traders. They can short more that 100% and we should be able to find out what the short interest is at will.
