Yes! Please make these changes for a more fair and visible market. Individual investors are at a disadvantage when this information is withheld. The market should not favor short sellers as it does now. Congratulations on moving to make the changes the market needs!
T+0 reporting of short interest. No using the options chain to push FTD's past the original settlement date. Restrict the use of dark pools to trades larger than %5 of the float. Generally enforce existing rules in good faith.
By reporting FTDs and short positions it would allow for more transparency. It feels as if there are 2 sets of rules. The retail investor does not have all of the information to better equip themselves in their retail strategy. While giving institutions an upper hand.
T-Evening on positions. T-2 makes no sense for the average joe that trades. Times have changed yet Finra has not adapted. All hedge funds should legally have to make their positions public, especially if a short position.
It needs to be more transparent. What is happening with dark pools is unacceptable. There is corruption running rampant throughout the entire market and it's going to make investors lose faith and pull their money out. Shorting needs to be investigated by the SEC!
I would like to voice my concern over restricting leverage trading. They are vital to my retirement strategy. I can make great profits with less exposure and in a shorter time frame. The brokerages do an outstandin job of informing us of the risk and that they are for short term trading.
I am AGAINST passage of FINRA’s Regulatory Notice 22-08 taking effect. I trade indexed ETF's over short time horizons, am aware of, and am satisfied with the risk acceptance protocol followed by the service providers. I DO NOT WANT ACCESS TO COMPLEX PRODUCTS RESTRICTED.
Inverse funds are used as a means to hedge investments. There is ample information and training online regarding short ETFs and therefore testing investors is an unnecessary administrative and financial burden. Regulations should not be put imposed on individuals who should have the freedom to manage their own risk.
I am highly opposed to any regulation on leveraged or inverse funds. These are market tool to help public / personal investors perform strategies that can be effective. Please stop shorting billionaires from robbing the middle class instead. That would be so much more helpful!
Regulators need to provide level playing field for trading and investments. so far the it is sided with billionaires and bigtime investors who trade is billions of dollars. to have fair practice buy and sell is required as long and short. people invest based on their belief and not to be forced by anyone.
