While it is imperative for FINRA to protect all investor's interests from their actions and inactions, these proposed regulations would create arbitrarily onerous barriers to financial instruments for everyday retail investors. These would only benefit high net worth individuals and investment firms--especially hedge funds, those of whom already impose their market dominance upon everyday
We would like transparency on all naked shorts please (AMC specifically). The hedge funds are cheating and terribly stealing from the AMC share holders. We need immediate, swift action for enforcement and regulation. It is time to reveal the great conspiracy and pay the AMC shareholders immediately. Thank you.
The proposed amendment to FINRA 4560 is a laughable attempt at improving naked short selling internal control measures, actual regulatory action, or really any kind of further obligation on the part of the involved broker-dealers.

I do not support this regulation. I trade stocks for a living and these vehicles are vital to my ability to make a living. Regulations restricting leveraged and inverse funds are onerous and unnecessary. There are more than enough disclosures required by brokers that can inform the retail investor. These actions will only enrich an already highly-profitable financial industry through the forced
I strongly object to proposed regulations which would limit my freedom to invest my own money as I see fit.
