#1. Report faster #2. Stop abuse of Darkpools #3. Automatically margine call Short sellers who are found to habe FTDs. No waiting. Make it part of the process #4. Define a "free market". Thank you
There MUST be more transparency in the market! The alternative in this day and age of technology, will be constant scenarios like gamestop and AMC. The retail investor constantly gets the short end of the stick. MAKE SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE!
I manage my IRA in a Schwab account and without the ability to short utilize inverse ETF's to help hedge in this bearish environment. I have been trading for a number of years and am aware of the risk of leveraged ETF's and stick with single leverage products.
I am attorney and enjoy the access to financial products to trade/invest on my own. I like to think and analyze trends (short and long term). The leveraged products are easily understood (e.g. prospectus available) and are less volatile than futures that involve middlemen.
I am a small individual investor, inverse funds help me hedge my long investments. The firms and wealthy can and do use options and short sales to hedge, but I don't want to take on that kind of individual risk. Please consider this.
I WOULD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUY/SELL THE INVERSE FUNDS. I USUALLY DO NOT DO THIS OFTEN BUT WOULD TRY ONCE EVERY NOW AND THEN. IF I DO NOT HAVE THE OPTION, THEN I WOULD DEFINITELY LOOSE THE CHANCE TO INVEST THE WAY I WOULD THINK IS BETTER FOR SHORT TIME INVESTMENT.
We do not need less choices as investors we need more, especially short term investments that can help us use a smaller amount of capital to hedge our investments. Keep leveraged and inverse funds. Thank you.
Comments: i understand that leveraged products are for short term trading and have increased volatility. If used correctly within a portfolio they can actually reduce risk. Limiting access to these products would damage my ability to create a well doversified portfolio
The only way to make money in a down market is by shorting stock, buying put options, or buying inverse ETFs. Inverse ETFs are the least risky. If you restrict one's access to inverse ETFs, you are forcing them into riskier trades.
Brokers should not be able to lent out our shares and use it for illegal short selling. Many brokers have this program, and some of them opt-in to lent out our shares even if the customers agreed not to.
