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
The ability to invest or trade using Inverse and Leveraged ETFs is critical to my ability to make gains. Especially when the government has the ability to completely destroy gains in the stock market through the Fed's money printing schemes, we individual investors need some way to go short on the market when it is prudent to do so. Just going to cash won't cut it either, since the
The proposed regulatory changes are embarrassing - to FINRA and the SEC, and an insult to investors. I should be able to make investments in the targeted public securities that I believe are in my (and my family's) best interests without going through a special process. Further, given all the extreme movements in individual stocks recently (Gamestop exemplifies), why limit the initiative to
Leveraged and inverse funds allow me to gain exposure to leveraged and short positions without having to take on leverage myself. I use inverse ETFs to hedge my long positions and to express a bearish view on the market. QQQ is down roughly 20% YTD, but I have been able to hedge my long stock positions and profit from this decline through the PSQ, the inverse of QQQ. I do not want to take on
I am really in the dark about how a lot of the short sale regulations apply but more in AWE at how many of them are not enforced. Market Makers and companies like citadel should have to report ALL of what they do, should be held to a much higher standard and not be able to manipulate the markets through synthetic shares, dark pools and the like. It is basically stealing money from the retail
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?
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
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
