Comments: Restricting an investor's access to investment products will only put them at a disadvantage. These tools fit into a number of viable investment strategies, and can be useful to hedge a portfolio to mitigate risk.

Freedom is our right. Comgresss trafers on inside information and you want to disallow constituents freedom to invest in their choice of investments. You are not special but may think you are. Your below average thinkers, make stupid rules and are currently led by a incompetent old man who cant remember his thoughts and who enriched his family of.

Regulators are spending a lot of time informing traders on ways they cant get make money. Its awful to see big name companies and hedge funds find ways to stay rich while regulators focus on stopping retail traders from trading.

It is my belief that any individual should retain the right to make investments as he/she sees fit without the imposition of restrictions if they deem a particular investment to be in their best interest. With particular regard towards leveraged and inverse funds, such an investment helps to create a balanced investment strategy that allows for individuals to hedge their investments. Ample
More transparency in short positions is necessary for a fair market. There are currently too many methods of obscuring the real short interest of certain securities which creates an unfair environment for retail investors. FINRA should make more information about short sales public as well as investigate further into how synthetic shares are being created and hidden.
