It is very important for me to have financial flexibility with my investments. I dont always think the S&P 500 will go up and I like the ability to invest in an inverse S&P 500 fund without needing to pick individual stocks to short. Please dont take away my investment flexibility.
Individual investor does not have opportunity to create large and risky positions in short or inverse funds .They are useful only as hedging instruments in time of market stress .Primary purpose is a protection of investment and that opportunity should not be removed from retail investors. Leave it alone ,we need it ! Jerry Poklepovic
Instead of focusing control of smaller investors why not focus on manipulation of the market and securities by the larger financial groups practicing Short Selling. That faction ruins a "fair" market for all and is apparently legal theft and manipulation. I thought the point of "fair and equal" market rules and regulations was to prevent theft and
long or short market is a free investment, individual make their own decision and responsibility to put their money to work, based on their own homework, for this reason, government/regulator must get out of way to let people have choice to invest, more important, people are much more smart than regulator.
I oppose any regulations restricting my ability to invest in anything I deem of interest. I view this as limiting my options and freedoms as an investor. You should focus on those investors and investments which are illegal and allow others a unfair advantage.
Use of short and commodity funds has been key to my investment strategy for many years. There are plenty of warnings published with all these funds, if people won't read and heed warnings, the should not be investing at all. In a free country though, they have the right to use all the tools, and that is a good thing.
Hello: I am adamantly opposed to restricting access to any currently available investment product. This is an arbitrary, unnecessary regulation that is not in the investing publics interest. I should be able to choose the investments available to me and not have them restricted to privileged investors.
I strongly oppose such limitations on my investments! I am tired of all these radical attempts to further screw us over and hope we dont notice. You do not have our best interests in mind, so back off!
The new Complex Investigations and Intelligence (CII) team and Cyber and Analytics Unit (CAU) are driving a shift in terms of how Member Supervision’s National Cause and Financial Crimes Detection Program comes at its work and leverages intelligence and analytics to drive decision making and operations. On this episode, we hear how these changes will help FINRA better deliver on its mission of investor protection, market integrity.
Every share should be tracked with unique identifier. Every share should be located and lent only once. Every order should be delivered T+2 or fails mean 10x cost penalty. Every short position should be updated with FINRA daily.
