I've been trading and investing for nearly ten years. This is not the first time I've seen proposed restrictions to leverage ETF trading. I'm disappointed to see this coming up again. The last time it appeared was around the same time the crypto market was starting. Given the size, mess, and potential for fraud and chaos that crypto is presenting I find it infuriating
I strongly support FINRA's mission to protect investors from ensuring an open, honest, and fair securities market, a key piece of which is striving to align investor needs and goals with product choice. It is probably or even likely that "complex" products are not appropriate for most investors, and to that end these products are broadly not used by most investors. Few defined
Apache Spark has become a popular platform for many types of big data workloads. The Spark API offers a well abstracted API that allows developers to easily solve big data problems.

The Cyber and Analytics Unit (CAU) within FINRA’s National Cause and Financial Crimes Detection (NCFC) program is highlighting a statement released today by President Biden regarding possible threats to our nation’s cyber security, urging private sector companies to remain vigilant and harden their cyber defenses "immediately" based on "evolving intelligence that the Russian

Hello whoever is reading this, hope your day is going well. I am a young investor with a few years experience actively trading and learning about financial products. Even though you're looking at making changes to how a wide range of complex derivate products are regulated, but I would like to talk specifically on leveraged products as they are what I am most familiar with. I'll refer
I am in support of FINRA being in control of the short interest compilation and most fine grained dissemination. I am in support of the most extreme reporting conditions. Reporting should be daily, there is too much time for them to change their books. There is also zero reason they can't report their holdings daily, they have computers, it's not like they actually do anything without
