BAN all OTC & HFT (dark pool and high frequency trading). Ban Citadel Connect, rehypothecation, and short selling like EVERY OTHER FIRST WORLD COUNTRY has so the United States financial system isn't looked at as a place to commit fraud. Take away licenses from people who break the laws. Citadel has over 58 infractions in the past decade and they're still allowed to do business?
I believe it would not be right to limit the use of inverse and leveraged funds only to specialized brokers or limit them to certain sectors. As a public investor I use leveraged and inverse funds on a daily basis as a way to seek enhanced returns. I am fully aware of the risk of these funds, going so far as to download 30+ years of historical market data and running my trading strategy against
Hello,
I am not really clear why FINRA is involved with leveraged or inverse ETF's / funds.
Every investor signs an agreement with each and every broker (account) that they have in that they have the insight or knowledge of the stock market to make these decisions (as well as option trading) on their own without regulation.
In my mind this does "NOT" need to be

Hello, if someone is actually reading through these and actually cares I thank you. All the people want is a fair market with transparency. More and more people are losing faith in the stock market every day. Stocks like AMC are being manipulated every day in front of billions of people with nothing done. The short selling corruption with no consequences has gone long enough. These $10,000 fines
I believe it is critical that FINRA mandate daily reporting of short positions by all members, to include synthetic shares. It is clear that FINRA does not receive accurate updates from its members on the above and that it is having a profound negative effect upon the overall market. Retail perceives FINRA in a negative manner, an organization that does not enforce any of its rules and which
As a hard working citizen of the USA, I put my faith in the government to ensure the system work for all investors. It is hard enough for folks having to deal with rising real estate and other costs, but I am told to work hard and invest to offset. I am losing faith in the system and the government who sworn to protect all investors. I do not understand why short sellers have so many
Comments: I would like to voice my opinion about leveraged & inverse products. I believe inverse products provide an inexpensive opportunity for individuals and advisors to hedge / short positions. Other options such as Puts are far more complex and expensive. As for leveraged ETF's, my simple thought is there is no need for these products whatsoever, with the key word being need.
Dear FINRA, I will keep it short: Dark Pools that are only available to large hedgefunds and banks, and which make use of different pricing and availability, are causing the entire stock market to turn against the individual retail investor. These Dark Pools can be used to load up on shares of a specific company and then unload those bought shares onto the common stock market, causing the price
Regarding your considered regulation, I strongly oppose having index and reverse index ETFs having anything to do with it.
While I see some merit in making sure retail investors fully understand risks before directly trading on margin or shorting a stock, the proposal to restrict index/reverse index ETF investors is completely meritless; theres no specialized knowledge required to let the ETFs
