I am shocked and disheartened to know that regulations/prospectuses are under consideration to preclude retail investors from trading the Leveraged and Inverse ETFs, such as TQQQ and SQQQ, etc. As a retail investor with limited funds to hedge against market risks, for instance, I often buy SQQQ to protect my tech stock position without holding up a large proportion of my liquidity, which has
Hello Finra! , Thank you for listening to the people about these issues! we really need our voices heard since we might be a lot of individuals but we are not as organized as some big money entities are and we cant express ourselves in a very cohesive way but anyways. Please take a look into short selling taking place in $AMC & $GME and some others that i belive are being manipulated
All investments carry some degree of risk. Stocks, bonds and funds can lose value. Even conservative, insured investments such as certificates of deposit issued by a bank or credit union, come with inflation risk. They may not earn enough over time to keep pace with the increasing cost of living.
Naked shorting is an extremely damaging practice that shouldn't be utilized in the markets. With it's widespread use, a stock is not sure to be valued correctly. As a result companies that may be beneficial are forced to shut down, lowers investor's returns illegally and undermines people's faith in the market. Regulatory agencies need to prevent these practices.
I wholeheartedly am in support of greater transparency in the markets, especially as related around short sales and the so called 'dark' pools. Please level the playing field and turn the U.S. Stock market back into a place for investing and not a casino built and maintained for the sake of the rich to exploit the people. Thank you.
Please do not limit our ability to invest in what you deem as "complex products". Trust investors who do not require a big brother to permit them to invest in products outside of the overall stock market. Leverage and shorting or using inverse funds can offer superior returns or prevent a loss in a portfolio.
I object to applying restrictive regulations to investors trading in ETFs that are leveraged to 2x or 3x. The same for those ETFs that are reversely indexed. The reverse investment ETFs are an especially convenient and efficient alternate to the "shorting" of stock trades. Do not differentiate between leveraged or reversed ETFs and the usual form of ETFs. Simply leave a good thing as it
I am an AMC stockholder. There are a lot of market hijinks going on right now. I would love for you to investigate all the counterfeit shares and naked shorts that are ruining the natural squeeze of this stock. The market needs to be cleaned up and made fair for all....not just the rich. Thank you for your time.
I request the following to be taken into consideration for addition to the proposed rule change: - Short positions held by market makers should require enhanced reporting. In addition, anytime an options contract is opened by a MM well below market value for the stock, the time of trade and involved party should be reported. - Incorporate ETF short interest in reporting requirements. - Require
I have owned shares of ProShares inverse funds for several years while mistakingly expecting a major drop in the stock markets. I will be very upset if my shares are eliminated by FINRA and I must take a large loss instead of recovering some of my investment when the markets finally correct. Shorting the markets is a legitimate thing to do.
