I oppose the various impositions and restrictions on my ability to invest that are being proposed in Regulatory Notice #22-08.
(1) I am particularly concerned that the application of the term "complex" is not well-defined or specified in this notice and may grow to include anything that FINRA considers on its own volition as being too "complex" for whoever they
I am against regulating the leveraged and inverse ETFs.
My brokerage co. Fidelity make you read a statement and request that you are able to invest in what they term more aggressive investments. I appreciate the ability to be able to invest in leverage fund instead of having to do it through playing with margins (i.e. loans) and inverse without actually having to mess with shorting a stock.
Violates the Existence of a Free Market is a basic principle of trading in the Stock Market. The inverse leveraged Securities have taken a Hugh Beating while the Indexes continued to rise.

Short Selling is not regulated and it is normally augured that it is necessary for a Free
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.

The hedge funds are able to do whatever they want and don't get punished for their actions. SEC, please step up and stop illegal practices and be more transparent in regards to stock market information.
I work very hard every single day to get extra money to invest into stock market. Why in the world should the market lean towards the rich [REDACTED] that rob us everyday. They should be in jail darkpools gone I'll pay for my orders again. Naked shorts need to be forced close RIGHT NOW. DO YOUR JOB SEC
It is my opinion, as a new investor, that clarity of information be the most important aspect of regulation. Beyond tagging each individually purchased share, there is little to no way to keep track of shares that have been shorted, and the delivery process is convoluted. Without going into specific details, and instead focusing on the motive aspects of reporting and regulation, the want and
When Regulation NMS was adopted, the SEC and market observers did not recognize ex-clearing as a significant loophole. In the original crafting of Regulation SHO (implemented in 2005), the industry told the SEC that ex-cleared trades were "rare". As such ex-cleared trades were exempt from much of the short selling regulations. Dark pool trades (ATS and OTC) in 2021 now make up a
