The lack transparency that Hedge funds offer is astonishing, it allows fraudulent trading of securities with impunity! Short
I oppose this proposal. These leveraged vehicles allow investors short term leveraged trading opportunities versus risking large investment sums of money.
PLEASE - Do not restrict my right to invest in the manner I choose, including leveraged funds, inverse funds, margin and shorting. Thank You
Do not restrict my ability to short markets. It comes with the same risk as regular investing, and I should have both options available to me...
I feel these leveraged funds are an important tool for short term hedging, and their price move potential is no more than other volatile stocks or derivatives.
Summary
Pursuant to FINRA Rule 4210(f)(8)(A), FINRA is establishing higher strategy-based margin requirements for exchange-traded notes (ETNs) and options on ETNs in light of the complex nature of these products. The new requirements for initial and maintenance margin are detailed below.
In addition, FINRA is clarifying that ETNs and options on ETNs are not eligible for portfolio
I strongly oppose restrictions on my right, as a retail investor, to openly invest in ETFs which use derivatives for long or short public investments.
As a retail investor, I believe that there should definitely be reporting on short interest positions. Please make this happen!
We need 100% transparency in short positions. We need these positions reported as often as possible.
There's need to be more accountability for the blatant manipulation and illegal practices. All shorts must be covered!
