This is my second letter to you. We dont need more government regulation on investing. I am a small investor with an IRA. I have a small amount to invest outside of the IRA. However I choose not to invest that money because capital gains tax would eat up any profit. If you want to help the small investor then give us a $10,000 exemption for short and long term capital gains tax in each tax year.
My main focus is on both leveraged and non-levered index ETF's for the DOW, Nasdaq and S&P, both long and inverse. I feel more comfortable investing in the market as a whole as opposed to individual stocks. They also allow me to protect my IRA on downturns as I am not allowed to short individual stocks and would find that far riskier. Please reconsider your proposed changes.
I am 74 years old and have the majority of my assets under mgt. with two different styled advisors. I have invested in Pro Shares Short S & P 500 ETF for two small accounts (which I oversee) in a very limited and disciplined approach to offset the economic problems caused by the current administration in Washington. I understand the risk, but given the current market conditions,
The ability to invest in leveraged securities as part of a well balanced portfolio is needed. To restrict this to retail investors is absurd. I should be able to invest in what I want to invest in as a right!
I use leveraged equities to hedge investments for protections. And it has been helpful to offset volatility in the market. I dont have millions to invest but when I look for products
I have been trading 3x leveraged and inverse ETF's for many years because it allows me to go long or short without having to open a margin account. It's no different than trading any unleveraged stock, as long as you just divide your investment dollars by 2 or 3 depending on the leverage multiple. Please don't add any restrictions. It works great the way it is, and it allows people
To whom it may concern: Regarding FINRA regulatory Notice 21-19 Many of us are concerned. The Citizens of The United States of America are demanding full transparency regarding Short Sale Reporting, as well as full accountability regarding Failure to Delivers. The World is watching and the integrity of our stock market is at stake. We demand full transparency/accountability. Thank you for your
I oppose proposed restrictions to inverse and leveraged ETFS. The reason for my opposition is that they are useful tools for hedging and as well for magnified short term gains. If there is a particular sector, underlying commodity, or index that I want exposure to, these products help me meet my objectives and help me formulate strategies to meet the objectives i have laid out for myself. I
The ability of individuals and companies to not have to report short positions is completely illogical and to me seems coincidental to the nefarious activity surrounding it. Even if no illegal activity is taking place it is a similar position to both calls and puts, that are both required to be reported. I hope FINRA takes my comments (and those of my fellow stock markets citizens) seriously, and
Hello. I would like to see all short interest positions reported with a T+1. Transparency in the stock market is important and currently there is too much hidden from the general public. Please make the changes necessary for the public to believe in fairness in the stock market. Because currently, the general public believe it's heavily skewed towards those individuals/institutions with more
Hello and thank you for accepting my comment, it has been brought to my attention that reported short interest on specifically one stock I own (AMC) Entertainment Holdings INC has not been properly reported on and is not portraying the fundamental rule of supply and demand. As a relatively new investor I want to bring to your attention my concern and thank you for the forum to voice my opinion.
