As a retail investor I cannot say I'm happy with the whole financial system with stock market. Everything we buy and sell is reported instantly. Our positions are transparent to any market maker or institution. All we ask for is full transparency on all transactions that occur in that trading day. In today's age we should be able to track and barcode every share that is available in a
Thankfully, we have enough historic data to narrow the amount of possible solutions to the short interest reporting problem. In my view, there are only 2 solutions that will restore integrity in the markets and ensure future stability; 1) Make the ENTIRE system transparent (yes, every trade!) and provide free real-time data to everyone...Result: All market participants can help police the market
I think I should have the freedom to choose the public investments that are right for me. I believe the regulators should not put restrictions on public investments.
By investing in leveraged funds like TQQQ, I could put a little amount of money at risk and if it works out I can have an outsized gain. Again, I could put all my money on other individual stocks like Netflix, Palantir, or medical
I am opposed to limits/tests/net worth qualifications on inverse or leveraged ETFs. I use them as a hedge on a portfolio of stocks to protect from market downturns and I think everyone should have that option. It should be the investors choice. Investors already can buy individual stocks and many of them are down over 50% as well so it's not like people can't lose money the
It is not regulators' place to decide how I assess risk and where I decide to invest. A leveraged fund is not a threat to the investing population or my investment strategy. It is a part of my strategy, and one I deploy understanding the risks involved. That's my job as an investor to manage. Just like regulators can't keep me from buying a house that's a risky
Our stock market is the most popular in the world. And thats because its of the people, for the people, and by the people. I understand the need for regulation and Id say that FINRA is doing a great job thus far. But touching investment tools that make retail investors like myself a tad bit stronger is simply an undemocratic move on part of the regulators. One who is capable of trading stocks, is
I oppose to restrictions on my right to invest. What is more difficult, having the business acumen to evaluate when to buy or sell individual stocks or the wisdom to know that if the stock market generally goes up over time, that you might make more money in a leveraged index fund like the double Nasdaq or double S&P. Are you going to tell me I can't approve of a complex
Investing in leveraged and inverse ETF funds is just about the only way to make money in todays volatile market. I have lost 10% of my 401k investing in regular/traditional ETFs. With the way this current woke, hypocritical administration is governing the stock market is going to crash, next will be a housing market crash & a terrible recession. Yet Pelosi and company can continue
Please do not restrict my rights and ability to invest in the stock market and stocks, exchange traded funds, currency funds etc. It seems that the regulators want to push out smaller investors like me. I am just an average person trying to build a portfolio only to provide funds for a decent, low to middle income retirement. Since banks pay next to to nothing in interest, what other way is there
Hello whoever is reading this, hope your day is going well. I am a young investor with a few years experience actively trading and learning about financial products. Even though you're looking at making changes to how a wide range of complex derivate products are regulated, but I would like to talk specifically on leveraged products as they are what I am most familiar with. I'll refer
