Short selling is illegal. Whether large market makers and subsidiaries are in litigation or not the regulatory bodies have a duty to enforce appropriate corrections for an inherently manipulated market. Short interest position reporting should be instant IF even allowed which it shouldn’t be. All the regulatory bodies keep trying to distract the public by asking questions and posting on social
My concern with shorting a stock is the impact that action has on the company. By shorting 100% of a company's stock (or more!), the stock may drop to a low enough price that the company can't survive regardless of the underlying value. I would suggest a cap on the percentage of a company's outstanding shares that can be shorted, say 60%. This would allow the investor the ability
On Monday, January 25, 2021, from 9:30 a.m. ET until approximately 9:57 a.m. ET, the FINRA/Nasdaq TRF Carteret experienced a networking issue that resulted in trades in Nasdaq-listed symbols being disseminated to the SIP in an untimely manner. Reporting by clients to the FINRA/Nasdaq TRF Carteret was unaffected. There are no actions that need to be taken by clients as a result of this
I likely would fit all the criteria (VHNW, etc.) which I sort of sign off on for options trading at Fidelity yet I oppose this action. There are better ways to achieve investor protection without making them jump through hoops which in practice just turn out to be theatre.
I agree with extensive warning and labels to ward off uneducated investors. But regulator imposed tests, etc. are just
It should be every individual investors right to choose the public investments. Leveraged ETFs should not be an exception. And the leveraged ETFs provide a more intuitive method for the general public to hedge the total portfolio and enhance the total return. If regulator limits individual investors right to choose leveraged ETFs as the investment tools, this action feels like strongly in
"Restraint Of Trade" is any activity that prevents another party from conducting business as they normally would without such a restraint. Restraint Of Trade is rooted in English common law and codified under the Clayton Act and the Federal Trade Commission Act. Courts will readily find that the proposed FINRA Regulation #22-08 constitutes Restraint Of Trade and will readily
PROPOSAL HAS TOO MANY UNDEFINED ITEMS, LEAVING PROBABILITY OF GOVT CREEP AND CONTROL. IS TWO MILLION HIGH NET WORTH IN AN INVESTMENT ACCT? OR FOUR? OR FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND? OR $400? SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE IS RIDICULOUS. DEFINE TERMS, IF EVEN IN SPECIFIC CONCEPTS. I OPPOSE RESTRICTIONS ON INVESTORS, SOME OF WHOM MAY LOSE OR GAIN. BUT, LOSSES AND GAINS LEAD TO LESSONS LEARNED. RESULTS OF ONE'S
This smells like a rat to me. I have seen leveraged ETFS taken away prior to large moves like the Natural Gas ETF UGAZ and USLV right before silver went up. It seems everyone is fine when a vehicle is a one way street to wall street pockets shorting them but as soon as the regular guy has a chance it is taken away. The risks to these are clearly spelled out and no action is required or warranted
I am completely opposed to this heavy handed big brother attitude. Were all of you ever children? Do you remember what it felt like to have someone think they were superior to you in their thinking and they commanded your actions like it or not? This is outrageous.
You do not have a superior knowledge that super cedes the rights of the rest of us. STOP this. Just remember, your current position
Comments: Leveraged and inverse ETFs are nothing more than simplifying the complex and opaque world of derivatives. These products are easy to understand and offer individual investors the opportunity to easily access the benefits of options without the complexity of understanding option pricing, execution and termination. Actions to limit access to these products will do harm and offer no
