It seems there are a lot of rules and guidelines already in place to ensure a fair stock market for the hedge funds and retail investors. But none of these seem to be enforced, so what the point? You look the other way why the market is grossly manipulated, and the little man suffers... is that the new American way? -Michael C.
I agree with the proposals as listed. I believe this would prevent or reduce the manipulation many believe the market is subject to at present. As such it would promote confidence within retail investors many of whom believe that institutional investors have made the market inherently unfair to them and as such retail may begin to disengage with investing. These proposals I believe would also
I believe it would be in the best interest of retail investors to obtain real time FTD numbers from the SEC, considering the SEC has access to that themselves and could release it on a daily broadcast. It shouldn't be too hard considering FTD's are a rarity in the stock market according to SHO filings and SEC announcements
AMC has magically come off of the threshold list. A real time example of no transparency is the fact that there are many different speculations as to how that happens after being on it for 10 days with no price movement.

I think fines should be raised. All short sales should be reported to you bu the end of each day and made public just like when you buy a share. Enforse FTD purchases upon noncompliance within 2 settlement days. I think it’s unfair that things are not more transparent. It’s our money our shares that are loaned out without permission. Please raise fines so they think twice before illegal things
I guess the idea of more far-reaching regulations is to protect some some investors from losing money. But what about those who might make money? Why should policy be based on one group, and not the other? But even if it would save all investors money, I would still opposed to it -- because it is not the role of government to effectively be making investment decisions for its citizens. The whole
I am AGAINST passage of FINRA’s Regulatory Notice 22-08 taking effect.
I use leveraged indexed ETF's actively trading them over short time horizons under steady participation in a long time horizon (25+ years) to smooth out inconsequential market fluctuations, even as much as 50%+, as part of my overall portfolio strategy.
