You are attempting to channel Retail investors into categories in an attempt to regulate their trades. If you would actually regulate the Banks, Brokers and Short Sellers these new regulations against Retail would be unnecessary.

1) Leveraged ETF is the best . 2) Please do NOT ban it or limit its use. 3) Please ban all short sellers. 4) Please ban all kinds of manipulation of stock price by market makers, hedge funds, and mutual funds. 5) Thank you for not banning leveraged ETF.
If you are going to limit an investors preference to invest in defensive ETF's then you should not allow any ETF's. There is no law against puts or shorting. This change will simply disadvantage small investors . Stop trying to run our lives...you can't even run our government,

Wow. Looks like if you enact all of these, you might have some idea of how much you colossally failed to do your job. The total inadequacy of security regulation in the USA should make every past and present employee of these organizations embarrassed.

I occasionally use various ETFS that short major indexes or multiply returns on major market ETFs such as the DOW, the NASDAQ 100 or the S&P 500.
I feel that it is a restriction of my ability to choose my personal risk levels if you place limitations on these financial instruments.

We as retail need full transparency on these synthetic short positons. Hedge funds have an unfair advantage over retail to sway a market one way or the other we need a level playing field. thank you.
Please go to daily reporting so we the retail investor can be on a par basis with the big money hedge institutional investors. There is no reason short interest and FTDs can’t be reported and tracked daily with the current technology available.
Yes! Please make these changes for a more fair and visible market. Individual investors are at a disadvantage when this information is withheld. The market should not favor short sellers as it does now. Congratulations on moving to make the changes the market needs!
