I feel that the current system of allowing Hedge funds, and wealthy investors to run rampant on Wall Street shorting stocks into oblivion only to slight the retail investor. Overleveraging themselves into positions based on pride and ego and then expecting the American Taxpayer to foot the bill when they go bankrupt and lose people's retirement and 401k is absolutely appalling. Selling
I think fines should be raised. All short sales should be reported to you bu the end of each day and made public just like when you buy a share. Enforse FTD purchases upon noncompliance within 2 settlement days. I think it’s unfair that things are not more transparent. It’s our money our shares that are loaned out without permission. Please raise fines so they think twice before illegal things
I’m not educated nor do I speak/write English well. But the way the stock market works, it seem that the rich have a different rules while retail have very limited tools. Why are they allowed to short stocks without reporting? Why are they allowed to manipulate prices via dark pools? It’s like we are watching a game of football, betting which sides win, but retail only see 25% of the field while
Bring back the protections put in place by FDR and worked for 75 years! The uptick rule, the prohibition against naked shorting for EVERYONE, strong enforcement of predatory stock manipulation, etc... The most powerful forces on Wall Street prey on small investors, we the people, and it needs to stop! They are parasites at the expense of jobs and the savings of everyday Americans. Do the right
As a registered representative, financial advisor and personal investor I would sincerely hope that I am never prohibited from using these funds in the future. If you want to ad investor education and or disclosures, so be it. But please do NOT reduce the availability of such products. As a rule of thumb, my firm does not permit the solicitation of these vehicles in my position. As for my own
Hello, First of all any rule changes should effect at least after 12 months (maybe 24 months) to be fair for the investors. We are using these funds generally to protect (hedge) our investment or sometimes to gain in a short time. We know the risk of the any investment which we are investing. So, actually/generally I oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public investments. Rules should
It is extremely important to me that I maintain at least the current level of freedom to flexibly and effectively invest via leveraged and inverse ETF products. Such instruments allow me to produce suitable returns while simultaneously limiting my capital outlay. They allow me to hold greater cash reserves for safety while I produce the cash flow I need to supplement my current family income and
This attempt at preventing investors from making investments of their choosing is un-American and appears to be another way to further stack the deck against individual investors. As if the un-punished crime publically commited by Robinhood with them protecting hedge funds and stopping profits by a large group of small investors wasnt bad enough, this further rigs the game to ensure more small
Dear Regulators, As an investor, I, not regulators, should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged. I agree that there should be warning agreements that need to be checked that an investor understands what they are getting into and the risks, JUST AS ALREADY EXISTS. NO
STOP THE MADNESS! It's hard to believe that another agency is again wanting to control/restrict me, telling me how and what to trade. I am 66 years old, have been trading stocks since 1998 (24 years now). I am the only one that should be deciding on the risk of whatever stock or ETF that I (not FINRA) am going to invest in. I am abundantly capable of making these decisions on my own, and
