Hedge funds have way more tools at their disposal than retail investors. They use these extra tools to manipulate the market and hide all the shady activity they do. THEY NEED TO GO TO JAIL FOR ROBBING AMERICAN PEOPLE. They are going to cause another market crash, short [REDACTED] out of everything, and make billions of dollars while Americans are suffering. Burn them down.
Preventing average retail investors like myself from leverge and inverse equities causes both great harm and disadvantage. Prevent the smaller players in the market from maximizing profits and hedging to balance out losses. Doing so would force greater risk trades by leaving investors such as myself with dangerous decisions such as shorting equities which can easily cause greater losses than
We have all seen and currently see the manipulation going on today. We, the people, need TRANSPARENCY in the market. What you have been doing obviously does not solve the situation. Fines are not enough as a consequence. I would like to see all short interest updated daily and data on dark pools need to be opened to public observation. Thank you for your time
Where do I begin? Crack out the whip on SEC forcing them to actually enforce the current rules, & make improvements where needed to protect EVERY investor - NO FAVORITISM. Shorts should be transparent for ALL to see. 'Immediate' enforcement of FTD failure to deliver. FULL transparency is imperative, show what's happening on the inside with dark pools. A fair market needs to
We need access to ALL data that funds and banks get access too. In the same time period they get it. If this is a “free market” then nobody gets an advantage. Currently big banks and funds get the advantage over retail traders of having access to data faster than retail traders. This needs to change. Any data relevant to short selling needs to be completely transparent.
Short interest should be reported daily, as market condition change rapidly by both institutions and dark pools. Borrowed shares should have a term limit, or should be reconfirmed as borrowed weekly until shares are returned. Shares borrowed off markets, should not be allowed into public markets without proper documentation of how and when they were borrowed and their terms of agreement made

As a small individual investor I frequently use leveraged and/or inverse funds. I have for years and am aware of the additional risk involved in using such investment vehicles. Usually I use these funds to take advantage of short term market trends. To suggest that some special knowledge, other than reading the prospectus, is absurd. And implementing a net worth requirement will ultimately
I understand the leveraged and inverse investments that I choose to invest in. These ETFs make it possible for the little guy to avail themselves of investing strategies that would otherwise only be available to privileged individuals with resources I can only dream of. Recently I have been able to take advantage of rising interest rates through the use of treasury short ETFs. It's
For 10 years, I have held ProShares Ultra-pro short and Pro-short Funds. If you disallow investors from buying these funds, the value of these funds will evaporate since very few will be buying them. So I won't be able to sell them. I will lose everything. I appreciate your intentions and agree with them to some extent, but a sudden drastic refusal to let them be traded will severly
