Instead of focusing on restricting retail investors, organizations and bureaucracies should be focused on helping individuals become better investors. Restricting access to these investment classes is not only patronizing, it restricts individual ability to access tools that make meaningful contributions to ones portfolio. This is, frankly, a classist proposal and should be rejected.
You think you’re arguing from a position of strength. You think asking for the public to comment you’re assuaging the masses. You think we think you’ll actually do something honorable and equitable in response to this open comment forum. We know better. It’s all coming out now. Again. We know you’ve rigged the game and corrupted the market. We know you only pay lip service when moralizing an open
End dark pool abuse. Clearly their is active manipulation of GameStop and AMC. Set better standards. Enforce rules. Create fines that are meaningful as compared to a “cost of doing business.” Enforce loss of licenses or fines that are above and beyond the actual revenue made from illegal and manipulated trades.
I think the key thing here is daily transparency. I love the work you are doing with this and it increases my faith as an investor. Self reporting is also a concern, but since it's going to be several different levels of reporting, I would expect more accurate reports. Soon to see this implemented, the better!
A free market implies free trading with all available instruments. The limitations are a financial dictatorship. I will not trust a market that changes its rules every now and then in favor of some special interests and government convenience. You better focus on making the same rules for everyone and NOT make select categories with "special" rules
Comments: As both an ETF investor and ETF industry executive, I'm alarmed at FINRA's latest regulatory notice 22-08, which has major implications for both the ETF marketplace and the investing public.
It's not in the public's best interest for FINRA to deliberately limit investment choices or to impose fettered obstacles that intimidate and restrict the retail
I approve of the general sentiment and direction discussed here. Increased reporting depth and frequency in these areas will create a better view of market for FINRA and will allow more granular analyses and understanding of potentially challenging issues and situations facing the market and investors. Knowledge through transparency is key to healthy markets
You have no idea how your regulation will close off the ability of small investors to grow their investments to retire in a better space. Why you favor Wall Street and not Main Street, I don't understand. Public traded investments should be available to all of the people, not just the already rich billionaires.
Stop letting Gary Gensler and others like him be the tool of the banks to only benefit them. Individual investors can make decisions about their future better than the bought and paid for government officials. Leave us alone. We need investment tools to protect our own future.
My personal investment strategy incorporates leveraged ETFs to better and more effectively hedge and grow capital in my personal accounts. These products are more cost effective and liquid than using otc & listed options or other margin-like products and facilities. Do not ban or limit their use by individual investors!
