Individual investors did not blow up the economy in 2008 with the use of leveraged investments they didn't understand, over-leveraged financial institutions (and the credit agencies that bodies like FINRA failed to regulate) did. Are you planning on prohibiting those same financial institutions from using leveraged investment or are you going to once again bend retail over in the guise of
Individual investors are more educated and have more educational resources than ever. I dont see that there is a need to limit individual investors in a way that is a step back for flexibility and individual choice. Limiting individuals in a significant manner as proposed simply creates a potential monopoly for registered financial advisors to offer services that an individual simply cant have
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or “Commission”) a proposed rule change to adopt the FINRA Rule 6500 Series (Securities Lending and Transparency Engine (SLATE)).
In this highly manipulated market designed to enable the already extremely rich, though 40% of the market's new money the last two years is from peons and plebiscites like myself, it is no surprise to me that the absurd, obscure policies of this abusive regulatory body would do anything other than take advantage of it. To force commom investors to the exposure, the risk of derivatives and

Summary
The national options exchanges are closing at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) on Friday, November 26, 2021 (the Friday after Thanksgiving), which will modify the exercise cut-off time for expiring options. FINRA reminds firms that, pursuant to FINRA Rule 2360(b)(23)(A)(viii), if a national options exchange or The Options Clearing Corporation announces a modified time for the close of trading
I am opposed to government regulators restricting individual financial accounts! It would change the dynamics of a free and open market economy! For instance, the ETF symbols, BOIL & KOLD, have a boom and bust historical market cycle. The NATURAL GAS traders can swing the market prices wildly and that is how markets operate. I believe president Biden and his administration will bear down
While I am not 100% opposed to new regulation on these complex products, I do want to caution that this could cause unintended consequences. For example, if I could not access leverage through options or through leveraged ETP's, both of my brokers currently charge me 8% or more on margin interest.
