Hello As a market investor in certain stocks which have been massively naked shorted by hedge funds, I feel we need total and complete transparency of all short positions. All short positions should be made public. All off-exchange dark pools should be banned except for real large block trades, which was the original intent. Naked shorting should be regulated and prohibited to a greater extent.
Please do not add more hurtles to investing in inverse ETFs and leveraged ETFs.
Ive used several ProShares leveraged inverse/ short ETFs to act as over night insurance for my bond and equity funds, i.e to reduce loss when fear is roiling the markets. I am in my late 50s, I also trade long ETFs where I hold for brief periods to improve my overall return. I consider both long and short, leveraged
Leveraged and inverse ETFs offer regular investors a safe way to invest in a wider variety of securities, achieve higher returns and meet financial goals faster. Without these instruments, achieving these returns would require investors to take risky short positions or margin trade, which are much riskier than being able to invest in these funds. My brokerage already has adequate warnings about
No one needs any measure of exam in order to invest. Any one can and should be able to choose public investments that are right for me and my family in any way shape or form.

There is not any problem that needs to be solved with respect to leveraged and inverse ETFs. Leveraged and inverse ETFs are critical components of my trading and investing; they allow me to achieve enhanced returns and also help me to protect my portfolio during market downturns. I have actively traded and invested for over 30 years and monitor my accounts on a daily basis. I am certainly capable
There are many reasons this would be an abomination, but I will just go into one. Since the beginning of the NYSE, people have been fighting to democratize the market and make it accessible to all. It is in everyone's best interest that the market is accessible to all. This rule change would destroy all the work to make the financial markets accessible to all, regardless of status, race,
As an investor, I am opposed to the additional regulations proposed in Regulatory Notice 22-08 restricting access to certain complex products.
There are sufficient requirements to provide information on the behavior of these investments and more than enough regulation on broker dealers to supervise the purchase and trading of these instruments.
We cannot regulate our way to more intelligent
Hi FINRA,
I'm mildly opposed to a regulation banning "complex" financial products if it ends up covering things like 2x or 3x index funds (or even inverse funds). I can imagine folks getting themselves into trouble with these, but no more so than they already can with options and futures. I guess it's a bit worse insomuch as someone get get these funds in a
