I am an adult who should not be treated as a child. I should have the sole right to decide what investments I take part in and not regulators. I have started trading from scratch and educated myself very easily from the resources available to from my broker. I fully understand the risks I am taking and should have the right to take them without regulator permission or requirements. The PDT rule
As a short term tool, buying inverse ETFs can be very valuable, and can actually help traders achieve financial objectives that they can not either otherwise achieve, or would require the use of riskier derivatives. Obviously, assets do not always rise, so trading just the long side means forgoing potential profit when assets decline. Also, using inverse ETFs during declining markets acts as a
You people should concentrate on regulating the markets so that corrupt politicians don't pocket all the cash. I am an investor in leverage funds, inverse index funds, and various short ETFs, some of which are risky. I am capable of deciding what to do with my own money. I am capable of assessing my risk tolerance. We the people don't need to be treated like babies. Some of my favorites
To whom it may concern, The know your customer rule, regulation BI and and the pending IRA rollover rules are sufficient to regulate investment options, advice and documentation regarding investment options, recommendations and relationships between advisors and clients. Putting further restrictions and limitations on clients access to investment products will disproportionately and negatively
Help us get to T+1 and then to T+0. Help us get rid of payment for order flow. These two things alone will help the naked short crisis that we're witnessing across the market and put more trust in us. Fines should be astronomical on those caught red handed instead of the slaps on the wrists that we know that finra has done in the past. I'm tired of people keep thinking that retail
Dark Pools need to be gone, if the market is fear and fair. Where is the transparency? Short Sale Restrictions must be enforced, currently it’s a joke. Failure To Deliver must be fully enforced. If I sell something I don’t deliver the items but I keep the money, that’s stealing! Currently your rules are joke. No retail investor benefits from your rules if they are no fully enforced. If I drink
Much more transparency is needed in regards to the number of current short sale positions including percentage that have been closed on a daily basis. For far too long retail investors have been dealt a bad hand going against hedge funds who have access to all the detail we do not. Please make the markets what they are supposed to be which is free and fair. Please enforce and intensify the rules
Hello, I will keep my comment brief. I am a $XXX,XXX.XX retail investor that humbly supports any and proposed measures to improve transparency and data accuracy for retail investors. While the term “free market” is a farce, I do believe we should have a fair market which currently we do not. Institutional shorting data is horribly unreported given the 2 week delay in reporting in addition to its
Comments:I cant believe the FINRA what to interfere with the small investors making a few extra percentage points on their money. Leveraged Efts are one of the only places a small investor is on a level playing field in the marketplace.Sure theirs risk but thats what made America the land of opportunity. A Small investor can go long or short just like the futures without worrying about the
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
