To whom it may concern, not sure why Im receiving this but I should be able to buy whatever I want with my money. I have been following the market for 20 years Not sure what the problem is but I control what I buy and sell. I understand leveraged funds and risks. This is very important for individuals to buy and sell. This is the stock market right? I use these to hedge my investments. Please
I am an individual investor who has been investing in the stock market for over 40 years. I routinely utilize leveraged and inverse products to achieve my investment goals and hedge my investment risks. I am fully aware of the way in which these products operate and the risks inherent in utilizing them. My investment strategies would be severely compromised were these products no longer freely
I don't think it is fair to regulate inverse and leveraged funds, since I rely on these as an important strategy. Especially inverse funds gives a "common" investor the ability to profit if the market goes down.
I understand the risks, and I accept gains and losses, just as I do with purchasing stocks and bonds.
In a free market, it is important to allow the market (of
The government should not be adding more burdens/hurdles to managing ones finances. We do not need more red tape or more paternalism from the government preventing investors from having access to funds such as these. And given the risk of these funds are lower than a large number of stocks the investor might otherwise buy (or such legislation might drive more investors into options) this will
This is not right sounds like more of what happened at GameStop. Everyday in the market we find reasons that the US Stock Exchange is not a free market system. We need to go back to when the people made the exchange and the United States the most free nation in the world. But it was by the means being discussed today. The people will not stand for anymore rule bending that only prospers those
The NASD, through its wholly owned subsidiary, NASD Regulation, Inc., has filed with the SEC a proposed rule change to amend NASD Rule 1032(f) to change the date by which certain registered representatives who trade equity securities in the Nasdaq Stock Market and/or over-the-counter must pass the Series 55 Examination.
Comments: FINRA is just another expanding bureaucracy expanding to meet the needs of an expanding bureaucracy.
Their timing is propitious: just as "buy and hold" stock investors are about to get clobbered senseless by a prolonged recession, they want to close off all other alternatives.
I've never seen any point to FINRA and they really ought to be banished from having
I really getting tired of these hedge companies driving down the stock every other second total suppression we have everything stacked against us as retail.all this naked shorting, failure to deliver’s , trade off line , hiding short shares in options itm and Otm . They have hundreds of millions shorts hidden and kicking them down the road . Say they covered GME or closed. It mathematically
I am a grown man who has invested for many years. I do not need a regulator telling me what I can and cannot do with my own money. These leveraged and inverse funds are no different than investing in growth stocks and other companies. All go up and go down. These funds are an important way that I hedge my portfolio. Please do not restrict my freedom.
Please protect my interest in leveraged and inverse funds. Inverse funds do a great deal of good in balancing a portfolio. I hope that future regulation widens access to securities, and does not prohibit access based on income, or net worth. I also hope that public access to investment products continues without the need for special testing or license to buy and sell stock and that public
