All short sale information should be available to all traders! ALL of it! Also, Dark Pools should be outlawed. Or at least, if blocks are bought on a dark pool, they should reflect the price on the retail charts. No more secrete crooked trading! OR, they should not be allowed to buy in a dark pool just to resell on the open market just to push a price down on a stock. Everything needs to start to
We must end dark pool trading. HFT's are using these dark pools to hide real numbers from the exchange as well as buying shares within dark pool to sell off en masse on the lit exchange (NYSE). While dark pools are legal and we understand it's real purpose of keeping large investor information off the market until their buy in has settled, it has turned into a way to disguise corruption
How about you guys make sure everyone is square about ethics and close politicians loopholes first. Nancy Pelosi and her husband are better investors than Warren Buffet. Having over 60% returns where Warren has never gotten over 20%. You think that has something to do with their access to inside information?

"Complex products" are a valuable resource for investors for diversification of investment strategy and risk mitigation that should be available to all investors.

Without these funds, I will have to invest in stock options instead when I want to use leverage. The restriction on my rights makes it unfair for me in comparison with investment agencies who have more resources,
I have recently established a brokerage account which was made available by my company. I have applied a portion of my 401k income towards leveraged funds. I am well aware of the risks and consider myself to be an informed investor. I do not believe I should have requirements imposed such as tests. Nor do I believe I require a cooling off period as I have already invested effort and expense into
What gives the government the right to regulate a free market for what investing decisions are right for me and my family. A complete overreach of powers that will set growing distaste of government officials. Where is the regulation for insider trading at the political/congressional level? Why is that not a priority where they are privy to material, sensitive information. Where the small retail
I have invested in leveraged and inverse ETF products for several years. The ETF providers and the brokerage companies I have used have always provided full easy to understand information on these funds.
