FINRA Reminds Alternative Trading Systems of Their Reporting Obligations
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or “Commission”) a proposed rule change to extend the expiration date of the temporary amendments set forth in SR-FINRA-2020-015 and SR-FINRA-2020-027 from December 31, 2021, to March 31, 2022.
[OCS SUBMISSION] As Principal and owner of small BD in business for over 40 years....I believe, along with my FINOP Sally Mann, that the shortened time frame for reporting from 15 min to 1 minute is NOT reasonable. This change would create havoc, expenses, and non compliance for many BD's. We strongly suggest no change to this rule.

I am against the passage of Proposed Rule #S7-24-15. I have found leveraged and inverse ETF's easy to understand and trade. The risk involved in high beta stocks can be higher. I prefer to trade long in lieu of short selling and puts. Inverse EFT's are my vehicle for being long but bearish.
I strongly and vehemently OPPOSE this rule attempting to restrict my choices in investing in Leveraged and Inverse Leveraged ETFs. As an individual investor I have invested in these continuously over a 15 year period with no negative results. We know what we are doing and the SEC should not interfere with unneeded restrictions on my rights.
The financial markets are undemocratic enough. Please do not restrict investors in favor of professional institutional investors. These instruments are used for risk management, hedging enhancing returns of smaller investors and leveling the playing field given wash sale rules, margin requirements and those who do not want to invest in options.
I oppose proposed rule #S7-24-15. It's up to me how I should or should not invest my money. As long as it is invested in things that on their own accord do not violate the law I don't want or need anybody, especially government telling me how I can or cannot, should or should not invest.
FINRA reporting should fully cover all positions held in publicly traded companies. The reporting period should follow the standard settlement period. All reporting should be made available to the public within 2 hours of market close on a daily basis. All positions, including short positions should be required to be included without exception.
