I think if it's our money we should be able to invest it anyway we want to. Just like any other investment in stocks there's always a risk but that is our choice to do so.
Comments: These L&I funds allow for simple day trading without the complexity of initiating margin and shorting procedures to obtain the same results. The platform on which I trade notes that these funds are not for long term investments and it details the risks. These funds are what allow me to easily outperform the market. Without them, I would need to waste an inordinate amount of time
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest in leveraged and inverse Exchange Traded Funds. There are already risk notification requirements for these investments. By their nature of being a fund, leveraged and inverse funds can be safer than using account margin or short selling. Leveraged and inverse vehicles allow me to participate in markets as I see fit. I do not want additional measures
Amc is being manipulated by ftds, dark pool trading, bond melting , being on the threshold lost from these illegal moves made by hedge funds (citadel). SSR has been issued multiple times to amc in the last month but continually the interest continues to rise and the short position continues to not be covered. Please look into this unbiased.
How do we get transparency and regulations involving synthetic shares or IOU’s. I understand the necessity to make trading instant, but these shares should be required to be covered in a day or two. Shorting shares infinitely that aren’t owned, borrowing borrowed shares, and synthetics are a major issue. We need transparency and legal consequences for fraud and manipulation.
Fines smaller than the profits made by violators are called bribes. All regulatory bodies that impose minor fines are taking bribes. The fact that comments are being asked for when the public sentiment on naked short selling, FTDers, and obvious price manipulation is incredibly easy to find is just another slap in the face to retail traders.
I would like to propose a fixed T+0 or T+1 settlement date for all shares. FTD's (Failure to deliver) are rampant in the current market structure and allows for adverse effects on price discovery. Enforce a T+0 or T+1 settlement for FTD's and this would saveguard price discovery and mop up shorting fraud without risking liquidity issues.
Why should a knowledge person not be able to purchase these types of Pro Share? If its on the market to trade then anyone with knowledge should be able to do so or else de-list all these kinds of stock completely.
Accurate short sale tracking is obviously important, but it’s only as useful as the information given on dark pool activities. Dark pool existence, and how those exchanges are able to integrate shares into major exchanges is beyond fraudulent. I appreciate your efforts, but share selling will never be put into check until dark pools are eliminated.
FINRA Rule 5131 (New Issue Allocations and Distributions) addresses potential misconduct in the allocation and distribution of new issues.
