Comments: This isn't how you "protrct" investors. This is only going to further the point market cynics make that you're rigging the game in favor of the rich and Wall Street. Focus on education and guidance by brokers instead of just walling off a market segment. The proposed rule is nothing short of government overreach. This is not how a "free market" works.
Hello, This is a good movement to stop all leveraged ETFs. I have lost lot of money in the past in investing these leveraged ETFs. I would also request Government to stop all options trading and short selling. Government should audit upgrades an downgrades done by big banks. They are doing it without any proper justifications. Thank you.
Do not restrict us from buying instruments such as ETFs.. These provide protection in down markets.. Govt please stay out of our stock business.
As a retail investor, I think it is so important to get accurate data. With the amount of fines and rules that have been broken by brokers, we cannot allow for a self-reporting system to continue. We need massive overhauls in our system and it starts with having accurate information, especially when it comes to short interest.
In todays modern age, short data can be uploaded daily. Within 3 days it should be published. I think FINRA should publish it as most publishers delay publishing and possibility delay to game profits or other motives. Please report daily and within 3 days have FINRA publish to public
If govt want to block certain funds lets cancel the taxes on profits from by stocks.
Its retail investors risk to buy whatever they want
Do not regulate what securities I can choose to trade in. I use TD Ameritrade because I want the freedom to invest in any stock that I want, period!!
I want to retain the same option to buy and sell any equity, stock, etf ,mutusl fund, etc. at my sole descrition that I currently enjoy.
The said investment vehicle is no worse than other penny stocks, which could move either way dramatically. As an investor, I know the reward and risk.
The events leading out of Jan 2021 and continuing into this year should make it abundantly clear that leaving any positions unreported or obfuscated results in a lack of faith in the fairness of US markets. That paired with a speculative bubble puts all investors at risk. I request that FINRA pushes for more reporting of short positions.
