It is MY RIGHT as an American Citizen to chose what I invest in on what my needs and what I can afford to invest to hopefully have something to leave my Children when I'm dead and gone! Instead you Democrats are breaking laws everyday! Putting [REDACTED] ideas in American Peoples minds! Every one that is involved in this mess needs and should step down immediately before that chance is
Regulating what assets a person can buy is not capitalism. The regulators aka central planners are intentionally or unintentionally turning the stock market into a place where only the wealthy can invest and expect great returns. Instead of regulating the 100's of millions of individual investors your energy would be better used regulating the trades of our congress men and women who
I am not a child or mentally deficient so I find it disturbing that FINRA regulators feel that I need a nanny to oversee my financial decisions. Wealthy investors have access to advanced financial instruments not accessible to regular investors like myself. Leveraged and inverse funds somewhat even the playing field for retail investors. When the market becomes volatile I can hedge my investments
For the past nine years I've successfully used leveraged ETFs to manage our family's portfolios, paying for college for our children, buying cars, and covering other household expenses.

Certain types of investments should not be reserved only for people with high net worth or specific financial experience.
Instead of limiting my ability to invest
I am pleased to be able to participate in these important public hearings on micro-cap stock fraud. As head of NASD Regulation’s Enforcement Department, my staff and I have had numerous opportunities to work with Andrew Kandel and the fine staff of the New York Attorney General’s Bureau of Investor Protection & Securities.
The current price manipulation with AMC/GME et al has exposed the stock market corruption. All reporting agencies and SEC rules don’t make a difference in protecting the big money from the everyday average trader. It seems to me that the rules only apply to the small investor and protect big money instead. It’s all an incestuous relationship between the SEC, FINRA, DTCC and the like and the big
I believe more transparency is needed any the dark pools need to be more transparent as well. The fines and penalties need to be increased so that the crime wouldn't be worth the cost of the crime.
