Comments: I would like to voice my opinion about leveraged & inverse products. I believe inverse products provide an inexpensive opportunity for individuals and advisors to hedge / short positions. Other options such as Puts are far more complex and expensive. As for leveraged ETF's, my simple thought is there is no need for these products whatsoever, with the key word being need.
I would love it if all of these changes were implemented so the retail investor can compete on a more level playing field. I would also prefer adjustments that would prohibit trading in the dark pool from affecting the price on the open market. Artificially suppressing or increasing the price of a stock through a market that is unavailable to the retail trader is fundamentally unfair and should
I very much disagree with the idea that an unelected bureaucracy, however laudable its motives might be, should be telling ME what publicly traded investment I can buy, is outrageous, and totalitarian. One can clearly see that ordinary people are often better able to see value than are so-called experts. And if an ordinary person , like me, screws up based on faulty logic, so be it. On the other
If we all know the hedge funds are stealing from us. You can't tell me they Don't Is manipulate the cell price of stocks, the interest they charge themselves. It's the biggest conflict of interest I've ever seen from the people in charge to the government monitoring these thieves. 99% of this country would be behind bars if we did what these hedgefunds did.
The state of the United States financial markets is a disgrace in no small part due to egregious abuse of short selling. Skirting of the current rules and regulations is commonplace and the penalties of such behavior, even when caught, are laughable given the profitability of such behavior. Both the prevention of this criminal activity and bolstering of punishment for said activity must be
There needs to be a far stronger watch on naked short selling that is clearly a major issue in the current market. Investors should have full transparency to what's going on within the markets they invest their money in. The entire world has their eyes on the US Financial system at the moment. The result of the lack of oversight and control has put extreme distrust in the American financial
FINRA 21-19 is something this country has needed for a long time -- financial institutions, hedge funds and the like need to be better regulated. I didn't know a lot about the market before this year, but what I have learned is that there are too many loopholes, and a lack of enforcement of existing regulations, that allows big players to make money at everyone else's expense. Synthetic
Innovation and collaboration are two of FINRA’s four core values. Michael Hawman, Director of Technology for Delivery Services, returned to FINRA after participating in AWS re:Invent in 2022 with a proposal that would align these two values for FINRA’s business and technology divisions.

I have been a Financial Advisor for 12 years and a day trader for the last 3 years. I understand that the PDT rule was put in place to help limit the risk of loss for individual investors however I do not believe it accomplishes that. Most brokerage houses will allow 4X margin to be applied to a brokerage account for investing/trading. By requiring $25,000 minimum equity to be a day trader this
