Individual investors should have available opportunities to invest like professionals without being subject to severe limitations. Being able to invest in leveraged and inverse securities is important to avoid margin or shorting requirements in a negative trending market.
I am a 24 year old investing for the long term and have faith in our economy moving forward, if you can short stocks, why cant you double down on pro shares. Please let us invest!
This suggestion to restrict is UnAmerican and is counter-productive. The ETFs make it easy to go long or short the markets just like the big companies and billionaires do.
You should not discriminate against individuals, that is illegal.
Thank you for considering an alternative view.
Please leave leverage ETF do not ban them Please just been using margin options and short selling and make broker dealers have their clients do a course on it to see if theyre competent enough investing in them
Common investors should be allowed to short and go long on the market. By not allowing the common investor to buy these instruments you are only allowing only the professional investors to make money off the common investor. Allow a level playing field!
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 would like more frequent public reporting of short positions and more detail in public reports. I’m very worried about my personal investments being manipulated with this lack of transparency.
I would like to get more frequent information on short % and and not delayed information from days past. This is ridiculous that we have to be requesting this when it should be the norm. Thank you for your consideration.
#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!
