I want to be able to decide for myself whether a particular leveraged or inverse investment vehicle is appropriate for my investment strategy. Although I have a middle-income-level job, I do not feel that I should have to submit to some kind of FINRA-mandated means testing or other qualifying criteria to invest in leveraged or inverse investment products. .
I have invested in some of these
Bitcoin is now a standard, conventional asset class, along with stocks, bonds, and precious metals. US citizens should be able to freely invest in bitcoin and bitcoin-tracking funds if they wish. Citizens benefit from having a greater diversity of investment options, including bitcoin and bitcoin-tracking funds. The reality of investing is that each person is responsible for their own investments
Each individual investor should be able to decide which investment suits his/her needs. There are usually articles from the brokerage firms and online. All investments have their own risk. The best of stocks can have a down side. The investing community does not need the Government or any of its bodies overlooking each individual's investments.
It is not right for certain groups of people to launder money around and hide the truth. The prices shown in the stock market are heavily manipulated and it is not fair for the public investors. If an incredibly large population spread out in several countries are supporting and backing a company, it is only right for us to see true prices and continue investing accordingly.
All I ask for is a level playing field when investing my hard earned money. I would like to invest in companies I believe In without being taken advantage of by the chip leader. Please continue to fight for retail investors so that we can utilize the stock market the way it was designed. Thank you
SEC Approves New FINRA Rule 5123 Regarding Private Placements of Securities
This Guidance assists member firms with continuing membership applications (CMAs) as part of the implementation of a succession plan or an exit from the broker-dealer securities business (which may or may not be connected to a succession plan).
Effective with the October 3, 2011 OATS Release, the OATS Rules will require member firms to report to FINRA order information for all NMS stocks and OTC equity securities. Initial public offerings (IPOs), secondary offerings, Direct Participation Programs (DPPs), "restricted securities", as defined by SEC Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act of 1933, and any securities designated in the PORTAL Market are not reportable to OATS.
More than 15,000 different stocks, options and bonds trade every day across millions of transactions. When it comes to detecting insider trading, it really is like finding a needle in a haystack. But that’s exactly what Sam Draddy and his team in the Office of Fraud Detection and Market Intelligence group do. Learn how in this episode of FINRA Unscripted.
I’d love to see more more transparency. I’d love to be able to trust the data that I see when researching stocks. I’d love to trust that the markets are fair. I can’t do that right now due to how the current system is setup. The US markets are completely fake. The changes suggested may improve things.
