It is incredibly important to have a financial system be transparent, secure, and fair. I believe that this proposal aids in the effort to produce a more transparent go coal system. Many new investors will be put off from investing in the stock market without these transparency rules. Many people, myself included, see the current system as unbalanced and rife with the exploitation of retail
I have been investing since 1969. During that time, I have made many mistakes, some quite costly, but from each of them, I’ve learned something. I’ve never learned anything by being right. If regulation such as you are now proposing had been in effect then, I would have been prohibited from making the choices that taught me to be a better investor. People are not protected by this kind of
Exchange-traded products (ETPs) including exchange-traded funds (ETFs), exchange-traded notes (ETNs), and commodity and currency ETPs have surged in popularity over the last decade. Risks vary for each product, with some types of ETPs exposing investors to both complexity and significant danger of losses. Volatility-linked ETPs are one such example.
STOP THIS INSANITY! DO NOT PREVENT ME FROM TRADING EFTs! It's hard to believe that another agency is again wanting to control/restrict me, telling me how and what to trade. I am 64 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
I have heard that FINRA is seeking to put restrictions on investors, particularly individual investors, from buying into inverse funds or leveraged funds. I am an individual investor and having been using leveraged and inverse funds for more than 10 years. I am quite capable of doing my own research and understanding the risks. In the current market environment using these types of funds is a
I see no reason to regulate what a person decides to do with their money. The government doesn't appear to have any restrictions on it's ability to manipulate the market on a daily basis as it does. The craps table isn't restricted or any other game in the betting business. Margin is allowed, shorting is allowed, and I'm sure there are other things big money is allowed to do.
Dear FINRA Regulators, I AM OPPOSED TO RESTRICTIONS ON MY RIGHT TO INVEST in inverse investments as an individual. It is important that the public at large, and in particular, me and my family, be allowed to invest in inverse ETF's without restriction or further regulatory interference by imposing additional regulations. We, as investors, are in charge of knowing the risks and opportunities
Failure to Deliver should not exist. The basic rules of supply and demand are betrayed by this concept. If a Christie’s auction failed to deliver the auctioned item, but sent a replica that is treated and “valued” just as with the original, both of their prices are then diluted. Nefarious intent lies behind the semi-rational “because we need liquidity” argument for naked shorting and strategic

THE STATE OF SHORT SELLING AND MANIPULATION IN THIS CURRENT MARKET IS ABSOLUTELY ABNORMAL. A LOT OF SHADY [REDACTED] GOING ON. WE NEED MORE TRANSPARENCY AND ALSO CONSEQUENCES TO PEOPLE ABUSING THEIR POWER. WHENEVER THE RETAIL INVESTORS GATHER TOGETHER AND TRY TO DO SOMETHING FOR OURSELVES AND FAMILY, WE ARE TO BLAME WHICH IS OVERLOOKING THE AMOUNT OF MANIPULATION THESE HEDGEFUNDS ARE DOING. WHEN
