FINRA,
I strongly appose proposed restrictions on inverse and leveraged Exchange Traded Funds. I have used both of these to very effectively hedge long fixed income and equity positions over short exposure periods. Removing access to these funds will force me into the listed options market to construct similar hedges that more complicated, expensive, entail more basis risk and require more
Dear FINRA- I am opposed to any regulation which doesn't allow me access to the same investment vehicles as the powerful, rich and well-healed of this planet. It comes to my attention that your organization is considering regulations which may prohibit or restrict me from investing with ProShares ETFs like the UltrraPro short fund. I have been investing my own money and receiving
I do not want to sound uneducated or stupid, but I think that there a lot of shady dealings going on in the stock market and I'm afraid that this will effect my portfolio. Please make all short positions be reported. Do we need dark pools? yes! but I wanna see that information too. We all want a free and fair market. I'm not here to be a financial patsy, for crying out loud gas is like
I dont understand the need for this regulation.
I understand the risk of EVERY investment I make, whether it be real estate, art, stocks, ETFs, etc. Furthermore, I understand leveraged risk, and I gladly risk what I can afford to lose. I dont know why FINRA feels the need to impose restrictions on such public securities. Baffles me.
Furthermore, leveraged and inverse funds are vital to my
Please do not do this. You may believe youre helping the average investor but youre in fact harming them. This action would take away yet another investment/trading option available to the commoner. The wealthy have a multitude of investments options available to them that lower networth people simply cannot access. Leveraged funds specifically allow the clean utilization of highly technical
In short, I oppose any restrictions on my ability to invest in public investments. In my opinion, individual investors should be able to choose investments that are right for them, and all public investments should remain available to the public free of restrictions. Moreover, implementing additional measures in front of the public's ability to invest in their future would create barriers to
I think I should have the right to select my investment in public securities. They should be available to everyone,not just the elite. Im quite capable of understanding the risks involved and use these instruments in my investment strategies. In fact Ive made a nice profit using leveraged and inverse funds and ETFs. They have also allowed me to hedge my investments and saved me money. They are
Dark Pools need to be gone, if the market is fear and fair. Where is the transparency? Short Sale Restrictions must be enforced, currently it’s a joke. Failure To Deliver must be fully enforced. If I sell something I don’t deliver the items but I keep the money, that’s stealing! Currently your rules are joke. No retail investor benefits from your rules if they are no fully enforced. If I drink
Much more transparency is needed in regards to the number of current short sale positions including percentage that have been closed on a daily basis. For far too long retail investors have been dealt a bad hand going against hedge funds who have access to all the detail we do not. Please make the markets what they are supposed to be which is free and fair. Please enforce and intensify the rules
I think all reporting of shares shorts etc should be reported on a daily bases to all with alot more emphasis on stoping manipulation, including making dark pools ilegal and getting rid of them, also making fines more appropriate to the crime instead of pocket money fines, I ve been involved in the US stock market for a year now and all I ve seen is market manipulation which should be against the
