We need to see what is going on. The short selling in dark pools. This is not a fair market. T2 is a joke. It should be same day. Hedge funds need to show there hand. So we all can be on the same playing field.
I completely oppose restrictions that could impact my ability to trade in both leveraged and inverse ETF's. The US equity markets have recently undergone several bouts of volatility so far in the first 4 months of 2022 with the S&P 500 being down about 14% currently.

Hello,
I am writing this comment about the "Regulatory Notice 22-08". In short, this notice pertain to what FINRA considers as a "complex product".

The risk should be borne by the investor himself, who should know what he is doing, and NOT forcibly eliminated by the seemingly good intention of the Regulators!
