EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The NASD is publishing a suggested Customer Suitability Statement and Agreement to Purchase Form to assist members in complying with SEC Rule 15c2-6.
BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY
Effective January 1, 1990, the SEC
I think individual investors are severely disadvantaged when compared to other market participants when it comes to the issue of access to information. We desperately need more transparency surrounding short selling. I urge you to implement requirements for more frequent reporting of short positions. Anything you can do to get more data in the hands of the public is a step in the right direction.
For a market to be free and fair all information on a tradeable asset must be disclosed. These updated rules protect all parties but particularly retail investors like myself who do not have access to the same data set as large firms. I support these rule changes, a more transparent market would benefit current investors and protect the confidence of future investors in the US stock market.
