Anything that could be done to increase simplicity in the rule book would be a huge benefit to the market. I AM NOT SAYING TO DECREASE REGULATION: I am advocating for an increase of regulation with incredibly simple language so that it is accessible to anyone. OVERSIGHT AND TRANSPARENCY SHOULD BE THE UTMOST AND ULTIMATE PARADIGM. Increase transparency on all positions, real and synthetic, long,
To whom it may concern, FINRA 21-19 will be an effective change that should've been implemented long ago to end the systemic risk involved in the current inadequate state of short-interest reporting. American and global investors are looking at the state of the American market and find themselves uncertain about the validity of the reported numbers when various short positions are
Investors looking for different ways to diversify their portfolio by providing access and exposure to illiquid strategies or alternative assets may look to interval funds, but these come with unique risks and characteristics and have a fee structure that may be higher than those charged by other types of funds.

Leveraged funds provided on the open market (such as TQQQ, and SQQQ as a short vehicle) provide an equal opportunity for all investors to participate in returns for profitable investments without needing to understand and be involved with complexities of option trades. In an open and free market, such investment vehicles should be
I invest in leveraged funds.
They have been an important part of my long-term investment strategy for over four years.
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest in leveraged and/or inverse funds.
I am able and should be allowed should be able to choose the publicly traded investments that are appropriate for me and my family, not regulators.
Furthermore, public investments should be available
Any proposal to limit an investors ability to purchase inverse funds would not be well received and obviously ill-timed given market conditions. Every investment contains risk and a regulatory authority should not posses the authority to restrict an investors ability to use products such as these that can actually mitigate risk in one's overall portfolio. If such rules are implemented,
FINRA has no business involving another governmental agency in the financial markets. Why dont you spend time stopping the big banks from spoofing silver and gold prices. Now that is a real problem you could solve. I minored in Economics in college and understand the risks of leverage and inverse funds. Im currently using these types of positions for downside protection. Its an integral part of
5/7/2022 ..Special Test! Do I need you to look over my shoulder as I decide that the price of a security is unrealistically high? Maybe force me to take a special test to judge if I am worthy to take a position?
So what is it? A complete lack of understanding free/fair price discovery? Or arrogance that you (the experts??) know best for the rest of us.
Have you noticed that markets go up and down
Leveraged and inverse ETFs offer regular investors a safe way to invest in a wider variety of securities, achieve higher returns and meet financial goals faster. Without these instruments, achieving these returns would require investors to take risky short positions or margin trade, which are much riskier than being able to invest in these funds. My brokerage already has adequate warnings about
There is not any problem that needs to be solved with respect to leveraged and inverse ETFs. Leveraged and inverse ETFs are critical components of my trading and investing; they allow me to achieve enhanced returns and also help me to protect my portfolio during market downturns. I have actively traded and invested for over 30 years and monitor my accounts on a daily basis. I am certainly capable
