I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, like leveraged and inverse funds. Like any normal thinking person, I am capable of understanding what leveraged and inverse funds can do as well as their risks. I do not need your restrictive limitations imposed on me.
I not you regulators should be able to choose the public
I have invested in both leveraged and inverse funds for a long time. The leveraged funds increase my potential gain and inverse funds give me protection from downturns and I don't want the regulators to meddle with my investments unless they can show me investments that only make gains and never lose. Also, before proposing such regulations they should clearly state their objective and
Hi FINRA,
I'm mildly opposed to a regulation banning "complex" financial products if it ends up covering things like 2x or 3x index funds (or even inverse funds). I can imagine folks getting themselves into trouble with these, but no more so than they already can with options and futures. I guess it's a bit worse insomuch as someone get get these funds in a
I am a CPA by trade currently working in the banking sector and have combined public/private experience of more than 20 years. I actively manage my retirement account as well as family fund. I hold bachelor and master degrees in accounting/finance and has been self-educating myself in investing over the years. I don't need a broker license or CFA title because I don't intend
Could someone please inform FINRA that the US is well into the throws of a total societal/financial collapse, as is most of the rest of the planet.

Initially I had to convince my brokerage firm, Charles Schwab, that I was qualified to trade options and inverse ETFs as well as futures contracts and manage my own accounts. It is very important to me that I be allowed to determine what
Hello, Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the high net worth individuals. Despite their risk, Leveraged and inverse funds enhance returns when they are used as a limited part of my overall portfolio.

I think it's apparent that you know what's going on here with AMC & Gamestop and many other stocks. I just want my voice to be heard and many others do as well. The short sellers have dug a deep hole for themselves, why are they continuously being helped out? How is it fair? This is supposed to be a fair market place.

Summary
Several member firms recently notified FINRA that they have experienced email account takeovers (ATOs) while using cloud-based email platforms, including Microsoft Office 365 (O365).

Current total short interest updated no less than once per day. Short position averages as well as amounts sorted by length held. Ie: 400k shorted shares still uncovered/ current position lifespan 24 days. Total disclosure of what exactly is being pushed through dark pools. It's on par with financial terrorism, fraud, theft, and the like. Absolutely disgusting how our regulators sit back and
