FINRA 21-19 will help to restore some of my confidence in the US financial markets. I say some because It is clear that the integrity of the United States market has been strained to the edge of disaster, in large part due to systemic risk developed under the regulatory authority of FINRA's outdated short interest reporting policy. Healthy markets benefit everyone in the long term. Given the
As a retail investor, I believe all of the proposed changes should be enacted. Transparency is a requirement for our markets to remain fair and free. Gamestop had a short interest of 140% of the float at one point in December 2020/January 2021 which lead to the WallStreetBets short squeeze and subsequent trading restrictions because of systemic risk. If the short interest had been reported on a
Hello, I am a retail investor who regularly buys and sells leveraged index fund products. I trade these funds based on a strategy I have developed with great research and care, and know full well the risks involved. Leveraged index funds provide retail investors access to position-sizing and diversification strategies that would be too onerous for such investors to implement themselves.
Comments: I STRONGLY urge FINRA to continue to allow investors and professional advisors to recommend and to be able to purchase for clients Leveraged and Inverse ETFs and all currently existing complex products of that type. To NOT allow these products causes more HARM than benefit to clients and investors as it removes options that currently exist. There are very few options that the retail
Hi and as an American citizen I should be able to choose what investment is right for me and not a regulator. Public investment should available for all citizens.

Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my
I use these so-called "complex" products to hedge my longs in various accounts at certain times I judge market risk to be high. How am I supposed to hedge my IRA without leveraged/inverse products or options? Is there some reason FINRA doesn't want me to hedge against a possible decline in the value of my long holdings? I am a very experienced investor, I'm a big girl and I
Restricting use of leveraged and inverse ETF's is a step in the wrong direction. Individual investors need tools to help manage risk as much as industry insiders and the wealthy. I use them as a tool to hedge my portfolio. As the market retreated, I put a small percentage, about 2% - 3%, into some of these instruments to decrease my downside. The leveraged ETF's allow me to use a
Dear FINRA:
I strongly oppose restrictions on my right to invest in public investments due to the following stated reasons:
1)I have over two decades of experience in investments in various types of stocks and bonds. I went through multiple bull and bear markets, and have obtained great gains. I am highly confident with my knowledge and skills in such investments.
2)I obtained higher returns by
I believe I should have (and retain) the right to make my own investment decisions, including the freedom to invest in cryptocurrency funds such as BITO and others.
Investing in anything, including ANY security or index, has inherent risks. Using intelligent analysis, certain risks can offer excellent rewards - again, with ANY security.
I don't believe it is fair to market participants (
I believe I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family, not FINRA. Public Investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged few. I shouldn't have to go through any special process or pass a test before I can invest in leveraged and inverse funds, as I am capable of understanding the risks. These funds are important to my
