Understanding Your FINRA Flex-Funding Account
I object to government regulators deciding what I can and cannot do with my investable funds. I receive a prospectus when I buy products that require them, and the burden is on me to make an informed decision. I do not want to have to take any special courses or pass any tests or explain my reasoning to someone outside my family. I have an investment advisor with whom I can discuss whether
Dear FINRA,
I am an individual investor, and I write in opposition to the proposed regulations which seek to substitute the judgement of federal regulators for that of individual investors seeking to make informed decisions about their own money. Your role is supposed to be to protect investors, not to hurt and control them. Unfortunately, any efforts that upend the existing disclosure-based
We demand transparency with investment firms and funds surrounding the various fees that'll be charge. We need price transparency which is all information regarding a stock's price (such as its bid prices, ask prices, and trading quantities) is available to retail traders. We also Need the T-2 settlement to be reduced to under 1 day. Please give us a fighting chance in the market. ITS
you make sure BD are well regulated to provide adequate information to investors. Do you assume they are not doing their job? If it is a current public investment already okayed by you why shouldnt the regular public have the right to buy it? whether it is for leverage or protection.

I feel that the reporting needs to be more frequently and made available to the public on short positions, naked shorts and shirt interest. Retail investors are at a disadvantage for not seeing the changes in markets and the flow of orders and the short interest that are restricted or limited to a monthly reporting scheme. It allows market makers and big players to manipulate the market and make
Timely and accurate information accessible by all participants in the markets only make them better. Daily shorts by number of shares, , Stock borrowed, % of float short, FTD (and even FTR) and changes from last report in all these categories. As a dream data point for me: cost of stock borrowing. All this date is available daily except the only way to accumulate it is to PAY a company to provide
As an individual investor I would like a fair market with the same information and resources open to all for investment researchers, from big hedge fund firms to individual investors, me. It is completely unfair Short-sellers can sell naked shorts, or empty shares or whatever you want to call them while, I, not a big [REDACTED] firm, have to pay for each of my shares from my hard earned money.
I have been informed that the above referenced regulatory notice is being considered.
I strongly object to the intent of this proposed regulation. I do not believe that FINRA should be able to restrict my ability to chose my investments or to make me go thru a bureaucratic process to establish my right to make those investments. I have been trading these investment vehicles for many years and
I oppose government restriction on freely made choices to invest any fund or investment type a person wants provided the information regarding the risks of those investment vehicles are publicly available and/or provided at the time of purchase. I understand this might result in less sophisticated investors losing money but this is the risk one takes when one chooses to invest. I dont believe the
