I am a retail investor. I believe OTC options trades are a great systemic risk as they are not properly regulated. As FINRA is an SRO I believe it should be required that all OTC options chains be publicly disseminated in order for regulatory integrity and public trust to be maintained. In order to maintain competitiveness and not price smaller firms out of the market, FINRA should create a system of standards by which all forms can submit OTC options trades daily and seamlessly, without incurring heavy costs.
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or “Commission”) a proposed rule change to amend FINRA Rule 6120 (Trading Halts) to conform to recent amendments to the NMS plans governing the collection, consolidation and dissemination of quotation and transaction information for NMS stocks and to make technical and clarifying changes to the rule.
As a school teacher with a low salary, leveraged funds are important to my investment strategies. I have more than 1000K hours studying financial investing and have used this as a way to supplement my income to help support my family. It is unfair to limit these options to just the privileged. It should be available to the public to allow personal wealth growth to be more equitable.
