Investors have the right to invest their money how and where THEY see fit. It is NOT the government's right to determine whether riskier investments should be available, Freedom of investing and the ability to diversify through hedging and shorting should be the right of every individual, not just wealthier individuals who have many avenues in which to diversify and grow their wealth.
I'm not in favor of restrictions that punish intelligence and due diligence in order to protect ignorance. Making the system more fair with adequate enforcement against the bad actors that use detrimental activities to exploit and diminish shareholders equity would appear a much more effective approach to improving the systems performance. Naked short selling as an example.
I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS TO MY RIGHT TO INVEST. I have right to invest any etf stock in this free market and this freedom country.
Pushing unregulated crypto to the masses is nothing short of racketeering. I am a risk professional. Your industry has ZERO creditability in this arena. These products are the only thing protecting retail investors from the FED fueled, financially engineered, derivatives death star. FINRA's attempt at regulation is an indictment on the financial systems lack risk management.
Regularly Use inverse funds as a head to my portfolio. Usually 80% long and 20% short. (Inverse). Provides an excellent hedge to my portfolio. Limiting my Inverse allocation will put my portfolio at higher risk - all the sector in the market go higher every year? Change sector allocation once a year.
It is absurd to block any of the stock market from the general public. What are you trying to hide or keep from people.
I think it's an excellent idea to report short interest positions with more accuracy and transparency, on a more regular basis. I also think FTDs should be reported, again, accurately, and with settlement dates etc in a transparent way.
