Finra 21-19 is a change that is long overdue to the short reporting systems that have plagued the United States capital markets for too long. The institutions that have the ability to misrepresent their short exposure and subsequent effect on the markets is not only damaging to the retail Investor but the markets as a whole. The changes implemented in Finra 21-19 are not only a step in the right
It is not the role of regulators to allow what investors can or should invest in. Regulators should however look at conflicts of interest, such as congressmen and women trading individual stocks. Dont limit the options of everyday investors who are already at a disadvantage. Regulate the advantaged (make hedge funds report more information, ban individual stock trades for congress, etc.) and
I do not believe that there should be any special regulations for individuals purchasing a crypto currency, security, etf or fund. If you are to impose special restrictions or require special knowledge for crypto how is that different from an individual purchasing a stock in a company they know nothing about or a mutual fund where they dont know what stocks are in the fund. I repeat I am very
I am currently using the SQQQ and SPXU 3x leveraged inverse funds to protect my stock portfolio during this market downturn. The SPY is down 14.11% and the QQQ is down 23.64% from their highs.

If you leave assets untouched and have no contact with the entity holding your accounts for too long, they might be deemed abandoned or unclaimed property. While there are avenues for recovering these assets, there are also preemptive steps you can take to help you avoid this situation.
I am not in favor of limiting investor choice when it comes to these types of funds, which allow investors an element of diversification with reduced committment of funds, which is especially useful given the high degree of correlation of all common stocks and bonds in the current Fed-related stock market correction. It may allow investors the ability to confiently hold core portfolios long term
Hedge funds, corporations, and other institutions have information and resources far beyond what the retail investor can access. Not only are these entities over leveraged compared to retail, some use their advantages to break laws and/or tilt the market in their favor. Incorrect marking of a position as long when their short.
