Regulators should not be able to dictate the public investments that are right for me. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. Instead of finding ways to hinder the average investor, get together with other government agencies to stop insider trading by congress.
I fully support this effort to improve short interest enhancements. When bad actors are allowed to create a synthetic share out of thin air through dishonesty and illegal activity, they pose the potential to put the entire financial system at risk. If "market makers" are allowed to break rules, including the creation of millions of fake shares, they are given the power to destroy
My comments are as follows: 1. The T-2 settlement period needs to changed to a T-0 or T-evening (the day of). The fact that retail investors have to wait two days, whereas institutional investors don't, violates a free and fair market. 2.

I am an individual investor that holds shares of ticker TQQQ and ticker UPRO. I am fully aware of the risks of these 3x leveraged funds, particularly the risk of how 3x daily negative returns can compound during bear markets and lead to quick losses when holding these funds. I am also fully aware of what a powerful tool these ETFs are in building wealth when used correctly as a part of a greater
Dear FINRA,
I am having a difficult time understanding why you may want to regulate complex investments. Ive been a stock and ETF investors for years. A core part of my investment strategy is the use of Leveraged and Inverse ETFs.
I prefer these instruments over options as options 1) have expiration dates, 2) are manipulated with changing spreads based on volatility and lastly 3) are more
Thank you for taking the time to read my concerns. It is important that individual small investors not have their rights of financial self-determination impinged by regulators. All investors need to be allowed equal footing from which to operate. The super-wealthy should not be granted the privilege of having tools available, which protect and hedge other investments that the small investor
