I understand the value of short selling. I understand it is a mechanism to root out unsavory characters that may be using subversive tactics to artificially prop up a stock/ security, however I do not understand why, in 2021 we as retail investors do not have access to the same information at the same time as institutional investors? how is that a free market? again its 2021 and we have internet

I strongly oppose restrictions to my right to invest in public securities, specifically leveraged and inverse funds. Taking away retail investor rights and limiting access to these funds by imposing special processes or limitations only serves to further widen the gap between wealthy individuals and the average hard-working American public. These funds allow retail investors to hedge investments
I am an individual investor. I believe that I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. Certainly I understand
Dear FINRA- I am opposed to any regulation which doesn't allow me access to the same investment vehicles as the powerful, rich and well-healed of this planet. It comes to my attention that your organization is considering regulations which may prohibit or restrict me from investing with ProShares ETFs like the UltrraPro short fund.

Right now even the PURCHASE OF A HOME is probably a terrible investment choice. Nevertheless, as a citizen I am under the impression that it is still my right to make my own choices regarding how I invest my money.
I think it is absurd to presume that only a "
