On Tuesday, October 15, 1985, 14 issues are scheduled to join the NASDAQ National Market System, bringing the total number of issues in NASDAQ/ NMS to 2,149. These 14 issues, which will begin trading under real-time trade reporting, are entering the NASDAQ/NMS pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission's criteria for voluntary
It is my belief that a market should be open and fair and that each market participant regardless of funds or experience should be able to have access to the same tools and be able to take on whatever risk they feel comfortable with. By denying some investors access to products and not others, you are creating a two tier system which is the antithesis of a free market. You are also giving one
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest. This is a terrible thing to do. It is not going to do whatever your being told it will do to make things better. Just because another human being has not been able to become an accredited investor at a certain point in their life and or maybe never will. You should not shut them out of a better chance at financial safety and security in life. The
Investing is the great equalizer that lets regular people achieve their own financial success. Adding more regulations stifle and restrict how those people are allowed to invest only limits their own freedom and ability to make that happen. A trade is an agreement between two parties, but these regulations are a third party - someone not even involved in that transaction - who feels they can
Dear, Regulator please have my best interest in mind, as a tax payer and labor when I prosper you and the country you reside aswell prospers, look at country like Switzerland where inflation is under control, we must give the people freedom to use tech as supplemental financial tools because we must learn from the 1930s great depression.

All investors should have the opportunity it go long or short, based on their views of companies and/or the economy. These proposals feel more like an effort to limit short selling, which of course some folks have high financial motivation to want. If you want to protect retail investors, start focusing on the large banks on wall street who manipulate retail investors all the time through other
You should do more to educate people on our modern financial system instead of taking away their ability to invest how they see fit. It's not your concern how or why I invest my money. If Nancy Pelosi and other politicians can participate in stock market trades all while making laws that affect company stock price, then I should be able to decide how I want to invest my dollar.

as an attorney that has believed in upholding the law, this proposed law would diminish the independence and autonomy of investors. we dont need anymore laws from the government to handhold investors from risky investments such as leveraged funds. this is encroaching on many peoples abilities to take advantage from the market. simple warnings and promotion of financial education tools is all that
I strongly oppose FINRA Regulatory to restrict my right to utilize leveraged and inverse funds to make my investment choices. I use them extensively to hedge and to extend returns; and by regulating them, you are taking my freedom of investment choices. I believe this regulation also could lead to unfair or even discriminatory treatment of investors; regulation favorable toward high net worth
Dear FINRA,
I have no doubt these proposed rule changes are not being taken in order to "protect" the average investor. Instead these rule changes seek to add further restrictions on retail investors in order to protect financial institutions from incuring losses during this period of high volatility. Passing these rule changes would be an injustice to the average American. I
