There is no good reason that investors of any kind should be segregated and barred from any type of public investment vehicles, especially not on account of available funds. This rule banning certain investors from inverse and leveraged investment vehicles would limit individual investment strategies and only benefit large institutions. It is fundamentally unfair and disrespectful to the
I have been a market professional for over 50 years, now retired). I advocate free use of levered and short (INVERSE) instruments as they offer hedging and leverage opportunities to every investor. This is needed in these volatile markets. The public are taught "never to sell" and yet we have seen several peiods in recent decades of index declines of 60+% (Nasdaq). It is vitally
These changes cannot be made soon enough! We need all the SI data we can get - consolidated data that’s publicly available AND (not alternatively,) more granulated data should be provided to regulatory agencies. FTD’s should be publicly reported, and actors should be punished when FTD’s occur. This should include criminal prosecution where FTD’s are due to chronic malpractice and/or price
FINRA 21-19 is a long overdue change. A free and fair market is a strength of the US and it is obvious the integrity of those markets has been strained this last year. Part of that is due to FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy. Even with some of the proposed changes in 21-19, there are still some gaps that do not account for synthetic shares that should be addressed as well.
FINRA 21-19 is a long overdue change. The market is a nonsensical mess as a result of the outdated "regulations" and lack of proper enforcement. You've encouraged a system that promotes Loopholes. Regulatory Notice 21-19 NEEDS to be sweeping across all aspects of reporting and closing and holding and marrying or whatever other terms or strategy's relate to Shorts and Reporting
I am opposed to the proposed regulations by FINRA regarding investing in leveraged and inverse ETF's. These ETF's allow me to invest during advancing and declining periods of the stock market. I do not appreciate regulators putting any restraints on my ability to do that. There are risks in any kind of investment and it is up to me to decide what risks I intend to take.
This is a outrageous and outright ridiculous proposal. There is no such thing as something being too complex for the ordinary trader. Especially nowadays with the internet and research materials available to everyone. You all just don't want the lower or middle class to be able to participate in the stock market. This is America and we are all free to invest in whatever we like with our
I should not have to go through any special process to invest in leverage ETFs. I have been investing for years and this is part of my investment strategy. This has worked well for me. Using leveraged ETFs is safer than buying individual stocks and provides a better return. It should be my choice as to what I invest my money in!
This does not need more big government! I'm a small-time investor, and I want to make my own investment decisions. Of course, all investing carries a risk - stocks, bonds, crypto, buying houses, etc etc.
These funds create an equal playing field for the small-time investors, not Wall Street. So please do not pass this. Thank-you.
The more rules the better on the Investment industry. Their only guiding principle is fleecing the flock of uninformed investors. No unproven 'vaporware' of 'investments' should be allowed without full SEC scrutiny. We do not need meme stocks, 'alternative' investments, gold, crypto and other risky investments with no underlying value to be
