I’m not educated nor do I speak/write English well. But the way the stock market works, it seem that the rich have a different rules while retail have very limited tools. Why are they allowed to short stocks without reporting? Why are they allowed to manipulate prices via dark pools? It’s like we are watching a game of football, betting which sides win, but retail only see 25% of the field while

Please help restore faith and integrity to a damaged, corrupt, and dishonest market where large firms cripple the domestic and foreign investor thru clandestine operations of misinformation. WE NEED TO HAVE VERY SPECIFIC AND HONEST REPORTING OF SHORT POSITIONS. WE NEED BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY TO BRING BACK CLARITY! THIS IS A MUDDLED POND OF FILTH AND DISHONESTY. My Grandfather did not fight in
Technology is at a point where reporting times such as the current T+2 settlement is unnecessary and is being unfairly used as a tool for hedge funds and other entities to have leverage over retail investors. This can and should be transitioned to a T+0 settlement period. This modern world can transmit and receive data almost instantaneously and we should use this to help give the average
Please consider my comments on FINRA Regulatory Notice #22-08. 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

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.

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.

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
