There needs to be more regulation on Overall market transparency. Otherwise the system is always going to be rigged. Things such as dark pools, payment for order flow, and short interest reporting latency, all make the perfect bed for abuse in the general market. Not even mentioning algorithmic trading. Also why so can be both a market maker and a hedgefund. I mean come on that’s just ridiculous
I am writing to oppose restrictions on leveraged and inverse funds. Both of those funds allow investors to engage in investment strategies that is already allowed in an efficient manner. For example, Regulation T margin and portfolio margin offered by brokers already allows significant leverage and an inverse fund could be implemented by shorting the underlying security. What both leveraged
I think the leveraged and inverse funds are just like many other securities or any investment that you can lose most or all your money, not to mention the above funds are not a single stock investment so they are intrinsically diversified. Individual investors like us use the leveraged and inverse funds as important tools to hedge our main investment elsewhere. The public tools should be freely
This comment is to urgently oppose new regulations on so-called "complex products." As an investor with over a decade of experience, I am neither a professional, nor a novice. But the notion of regulating leveraged and inverse products is nonsensical. These products are far and away the easiest to understand of any ETFs/ETNs available to retail investors.

As an investor I oppose restrictions on usage of publicly traded leveraged and inverse ETFs. I use them in limited quantities when I see an opportunity to boost my returns in the short term. I do understand the heightened risks these instruments carry, and I take full responsibility for possible losses that I may incur when using these types of ETFs. Leveraged and inverse ETFs are important tools
1. All short sales must be reported to FINRA by the end of each settlement day and made public by the beginning of the next settlement day. - FINRA must automatically pull the information by market close electronically (i.e. NO self-reporting) 2. All unused loaned shares must be reported to FINRA by end of settlement day and made public by the beginning of the next settlement day - FINRA must
Hello - thank you for addressing this and making it a priority. I am primarily invested in AMC but also have shares in other shorted stocks like GME and NAKD. The pricing is being manipulated by market makers and hedge funds in and out of dark pools. Based on what we know as fact, they should have had margin calls multiple times but skirt the rules to push the proverbial can down the road. The
There shouldn't be a two day delay in short sale returns and coverage. All the big players on Wall Street get it the day of and yet everyone else has to wait 2 days. How about making the rules fair for everyone and everyone being able to see it the same day. Also I'm sick of algorithmic trading back and forth back and forth back and forth. When you going to outlaw something like that
Hello, I would like to see more transparency and effective regulation (and enforcement) on Short Sale Reporting. As a retail investor, my confidence in our American stock market is very low and leaves me feeling cheated due to these "behind the scenes" loop holes that large corporations and institutions can utilize to benefit themselves through bending the rules through clever exploits
Every share should be tracked with a unique identifier. Every share with a unique identifier should only be allowed to lent out once. Every order should be delivered T+2 or fails mean 10x cost penalty. Every short position should be updated with FINRA daily. All retail but and sell orders should be done in a "lit" market - not retail order should be allowed to be packaged up with other
