I believe I have the right to use leveraged or inverse ETFs as part of my investment strategy. Since shorting stocks is not allowed in a retirement fund, inverse ETFs give me the freedom to take advantage of situations where market conditions are unfavorable. Likewise, options can be used at far greater risk than leveraged ETFs. That said, some might enjoy the use of options to hedge a large
To whom it may concern at FINRA, I am not a very eloquent person, so please note that I have taken bits and pieces of comments and copy/pasted them. Just because I have not articulated these thoughts myself, does not mean that I am any less passionate about the proposed rule changes. Since beginning my journey as a retail investor and learning more about our financial systems I have lost complete
the system right now is set up for me perfectly since I am a inverse trader. it is a trading system I use instead of shorting stocks which if I had to like most inverse traders would defiantly do along with day trading which in my opinion would cause havoc on quality stocks and the market and also would cause a lot of traders to go into options were a lot of traders would get hurt financially.

Comments: I regularly trade inverse funds. I don't find them "complex" at all. Inverse funds are short which ever index they cover and go up when that index goes down.

Does FINRA only wish to cater to the "RICH CATS" of Wall Street? ETFs are a Godsend to smaller investors, WHOM can NOT open $1 Million + accounts with Goldman Sachs, or Morgan Stanley....and get special privileges (edges) like getting 1st dibs on new IPOs etc. NOW, inverse funds are under review so SMALL fry WILL NOT be allowed to 'short' sectors of the markets? MUST we all
Hello, if someone is actually reading through these and actually cares I thank you. All the people want is a fair market with transparency. More and more people are losing faith in the stock market every day. Stocks like AMC are being manipulated every day in front of billions of people with nothing done. The short selling corruption with no consequences has gone long enough. These $10,000 fines
Dear FINRA, I will keep it short: Dark Pools that are only available to large hedgefunds and banks, and which make use of different pricing and availability, are causing the entire stock market to turn against the individual retail investor. These Dark Pools can be used to load up on shares of a specific company and then unload those bought shares onto the common stock market, causing the price
