Greetings, Not sure why FINRA has not come out with a report in the last three quarters, but the information it provides is completely valid and incredibly important to me as an individual investor. Also, I wish their was some working enforcement in place to discourage naked short selling and the unethical trade practices being used to manipulate a stocks true value.
STOP THIS INSANITY! DO NOT PREVENT ME FROM TRADING EFTs! It's hard to believe that another agency is again wanting to control/restrict me, telling me how and what to trade. I am 64 years old, have been trading stocks since 1998 (24 years now). I am the only one that should be deciding on the risk of whatever stock or ETF that I (not FINRA) am going to invest in. I am abundantly capable of
PLEASE do not take away ordinary retail investors' right to trade these products. There is an inherent risk in any investment. People who participate in the market should be able to assess for themselves what level of risk they want to take on. If they don't want the risk, there are plenty of other vehicles to trade. Most importantly, these products are the only way ordinary
I have been an investor for many years now.
I have to say, I'm very upset with the FED and the way they have been manipulating the currency since the 08 market correction.
From that time on they destroyed the bond markets diversification capabilities to the stock market, because it now runs in conjunction with the market. At present my "Short" position is the only
Dear Sirs, I believe our ability to buy inverse ETFs should not be limited, for the following reason: Betting against a given stock, fund or commodity is a valid and, mostly, healthy way to establish a fair valuation of such. However, short sales, put options and futures are more dangerous than inverse ETFs, where one's losses are limited to the amount invested.
Leveraged ETFs are very helpful financial tool for retail investors. They are important to my investment approach. It provides investors access to a basket of stocks and in general it has protection against short raids by hedge funds. Please keep these important investment options around. DO not make retail investors even more weaker by taking this tool away from them.
Cut out the babysitting. What part of free market is going over your head? Do something useful like preventing selling short more stocks than there are in the float. Do something useful like regulating corruption in businesses. Do not take my rights away because you were given the idea by a nice dinner with some lobbyists.
FINRA experienced an issue this morning with the processing of its OTC Transparency Data, thereby causing a publication delay for the week of July 11, 2022 (Tier 1), June 27, 2022 (Tier 2), June 2022 Monthly Non-ATS data, and June 2022 Block data on the OTC Transparency Data website. FINRA is working on resolving the issue and will provide an update once it is resolved.

I believe as an experienced investor that I should be able to use leveraged funds to enhance returns on my portfolio or in the case of inverse funds to hedge and protect on the downside for my portfolio. If not allowed to choose my only option would be to open a margin account and use leverage open myself to possibility of margin calls or to potentially short a stock that has unlimited risk.
Pursuant to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission request, FINRA makes short sale trade data publicly available for off-exchange (i.e., OTC) trades in exchange-listed securities reported to a FINRA Trade Reporting Facility (TRF). FINRA makes two types of files available: (1) Daily Short Sale Volume Files; and (2) Monthly Short Sale Transaction Files (collectively, the Short Sale Files).
