While the proposed improved regulations / reporting are taking a step in the right direction there needs to be further reporting of data to the public made in as close to real time as possible. As the movement of retail traders being involved in managing their own investments continues to grow, the playing field should be as even as possible for all parties involved. If we are investing with a
We as investors get screwed by big hedges who manipulate the market with shorting with there software made to artificially give a false price Sabby and Citadel are the to biggest that continues break laws and nothing happens to them we are tired of this they find away to come up with shares that should not be there. I see many lawsuits being the only way of stopping this illegal activity this is
To whom it may concern, Do not take away my right to invest in a leverage and inverse funds nor should you restrict us small investors. You do not restrict the large firm to short stock or inverse funds but you go after the little guy so you give the big large firms the edge to win and beat the little guy. We small investors want to invest and have level playing field. If you really want to make
Limiting investors choice to determine the best investments based upon their goals is unwarranted and detrimental Investors who use unique investment strategies (ie options, crypto currencies, shorts, high yield bonds, leveraged ETFs) should not have to incur an additional regulatory burden. There are many complex investments and they have been utilized by investors for decades. The
I am very disappointed how financial regulators are trying to take away power of individual investors to freely invest in public ETFs - leveraged or inversed - which are listed in the public market because they were approved by financial institutions. Yet, the same financial regulators do not place any restrictions on investing "professionals" who short the market or individual
Leveraged and inverse funds are an important of investing for everyday Americans as well as for the privileged. On this May 5th sell off day...a tv talking blamed leveraged funds in part, but the day before had a very large gain and no credit was given to them at all. And if they do cancel these instruments will retail still get blamed for the sell off? Yes...that is what they call us. What we
Raising the difficulty of market manipulation via naked shorting and rapid trading has become a national mandate since the Robin Hood event. Market transparency is essential to free markets and the moves of institutional investors are bellwethers to retail investors who are harmed by market downturns without equal access to information on market moves. A balance must be struck between the need to
Retail is the backbone of the economy. We're always given the worst odds and being beaten down. With that they're beating down the US and world economy. It is the responsibility of those in power to make a change to level the playing field. If you raise up retail, we'll raise up the economy. Short sellers are killing jobs, robbing peoples futures and killing the economy so they can
Why does the government always stand in the way of ordinary citizens trying to get ahead? Wish we could elect officials who only had our best interest at heart, that would treat us as the educated adults we are, and stay out of our way.
I use inverse ETFs, sometimes even leveraged ETFs, and Options as portfolio insurance in case the so-called financial experts in Washington screw up the economy.
I think retail is extremely desirous of seeing more frequent reporting and as much of that made publicly available as possible. At least of a weekly or bi-weekly basis. I believe the currently attempted short squeeze is bring to light that lack of transparency is being used to commit fraud and establish predatory roles against companies. The conduct of these financial professionals qualifies as
