Dear Sirs/Madame, I sincerely regret hearing that you are considering regulating my purchase of public investments! I should be able to invest in what I choose, not have regulators choose for me in a capitalistic country! I frequently invest in leveraged ETFS to moderate stock market volitility and put options for protection as well! I have been using these instruments for many years and
Big government regulations are not needed in controlling investment interest. I should not have to have a degree in investments to be able to choose how I invest. My interest in over the counter investments and pink sheet investments has already been blocked and limits my exit severely due to low volume of stock movement. This move to control trading opportunities, is not in the interest of
This should not be decided by regulators. This should be a freedom decided by the investor whose money is at risk. Should penny stocks, crypto and other equally risky assets be banned as well? Should investors not have the right to buy or sell assets during certain market conditions that regulars deem unsafe for the investor? No, these are decisions for those with assets who have decided to take
I am a disabled individual who has managed to support myself and my daughter for the last 5 years by trading stocks. During that time my net worth has never exceeded $150,000. THIS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT TRADING LEVERAGED ETFs ! My brokerage (Fidelity) Required that I read and acknowledge a very stringent warning about the risks before allowing me to trade these securities, and
I support the proposed changes. In addition i believe that there are several levels of self-dealing, impropriety, negligence and perhaps outright fraud-by-omission, happening at the SEC itself, which routinely harms retail investors as a class. My suspicions were raised by commentary around 'meme stocks' and comments by various industry professionals in publicly available materials. I
As a retail investor I am very hesitant to invest anymore money into stocks when I'm seeing this blatant manipulation of the market by market makers and hedge funds. I feel like they're not going to act in good faith when doing so doesn't benefit them as much. We as investors need to see more than just fines imposed and some real solid action on combatting this behavior for a fair
I've not seen any regulation on Dark Pools. This needs to be addressed and acted upon as dark pools allow for hedge funds/shorts to manipulate market price by routing stock buys in them. My vote is to outlaw and remove dark pools entirely. I know it's supposed to be used for huge exchanges without affecting the market, but at this point, it's more and more being used for illegal
Please help restore faith and integrity to a damaged, corrupt, and dishonest market where large firms cripple the domestic and foreign investor thru clandestine operations of misinformation. WE NEED TO HAVE VERY SPECIFIC AND HONEST REPORTING OF SHORT POSITIONS. WE NEED BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY TO BRING BACK CLARITY! THIS IS A MUDDLED POND OF FILTH AND DISHONESTY.

LAST DATE FOR COMMENT: APRIL 28, 1986
The National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD), is requesting comments on a proposed amendment that would provide limited exemptions for certain persons purchasing securities in connection with the conversion to stock ownership of mutual savings and loan associations, savings banks and certain
I have been using index Inverse Leveraged ETFs (I-LETFs) as a portfolio hedge, given that my single stock positions can be volatile, and that my portfolio is not correlated with the indices I inverse.
I use I-LETFs in my active trading account, not in my long term investment account.
The I-LETFs are usually under 10% of my portfolio--I rebalance my I-LETF exposure almost daily, to counteract the
