I am outraged that you call Structured Product "complex investments." How can you paint these products with such a broad brush? Frequently companies use futures to hedge against many risks. Why not call their stocks complex investments as well? I believe simply informing clients of the risks, as our firm does with all the investments we sell, should suffice with any risk disclosure. We
I believe FINRA's proposed limits try to address a problem that does not exist. Retail investors should have the freedom to decide what to do with their money and Direxion does a great job with several resources in their website to inform us about the risks of leverage investments.
I understand well what the risks are of investing in leveraged ETFs and they have made me a better investor
The reporting of "short interest" should be accurate! The everyday, retail investor should have access to ever piece of information the Hedge Funds and Market Makers have. If company is under attack by one of these Hedge Funds, we should be able to obtain real time info we can make educated decisions on where you are putting our money and not get caught holding the back when said
Short interest, shares on loan, order flow data/routing, and all other information available to institutional investors should be available to other market participants to promote true market equality. The same sentiment holds true for the timeliness in the availability of reporting data. The current market structure fails to protect self-directed investors from market manipulation and fraudulent
1. Buy orders vs sell orders buy orders show more inflow and the price drops. 2. Naked shorting, synthetic shares. With amc the CEO gave good information about share holders and the amount per stock holder on average. This number does not add up with the volume of buy and sell orders. 3.

I would like to see a more transparent market with instant short position reporting to the general public. I would also like to see instant reporting of any failure-to-delivers. I would like to know the volume from each market even the dark pools to understand the price change. I think this information should be public to any retail investor instantly and easily with no delays. I believe this
It amazes me that citadel can control market orders from Robin Hood. They can see real-time information and use it to control stock prices giving an unfair advantage to retailer investors! They can direct sell orders through the exchange but can place by orders through the dark pool! I strongly disagree that the dark pool should be eliminated but highly encourage all retailer investors’ orders go
Summary
FINRA’s Renewal Program supports the collection and disbursement of fees related to the renewal of broker-dealer (BD) and investment adviser (IA) registrations, exempt reporting and notice filings with participating self-regulatory organizations (SRO) and jurisdictions. During this program, FINRA announces renewal fees BD and IA firms owe via Preliminary Statements issued in November.
To whom it may concern: I have grave concerns that the goals of the 21-19 rule change have too many loopholes and will not meet the stated goals of the effort. In fact, FINRA's minimal efforts at preventing ongoing FTD violations and options and swaps manipulation that circumvents REG SHO and T+2 requirements has led me to believe that FINRA is unable to be trusted as a Self-regulating
I should be able to choose public investments that are right for me, and these investments should be available to all of the public. I should not have to go through a special process or test to invest in inverse and leveraged funds. I understand their risks well - information on them is widely available. Leveraged and inverse funds are an important part of my investing approach, allowing me to
