I believe absolutely that 1- Finra should publish on the FINRA website short interest data for all equity securities (listed and unlisted). 2-potential short interest enhancements discussed above would , YES, be equally beneficial for both OTC equity securities and exchange-listed equity securities. In all I have discovered from public information made readily available on the sub Reddit /
Thank you for the opportunity to make comments. I will begin by saying that short selling should be banned in the United States. It is antithetical to the law of supply and demand, is being abused by hedge funds and market makers and obscures transparency. Seeing as how FINRA and the SEC will not ban short selling here are some of my other suggestions 1. Each Individual Stock Share should have a
I am opposed to any legislation preventing me from trading these types of securities. I have been trading options for 15 years, and have been trading leveraged and inverse etfs for at least 10 years. I know how they work and have studied these vehicles at length. I studied options and used practice accounts over 15 years ago before I ever used options. I use options and leveraged etfs as
I urge you NOT to restrict ordinary investors from trading leveraged and inverse ETFs for the following reasons:
1. Inverse and inverse leveraged ETFs are often the only vehicles available to ordinary investors to hedge their cash and retirement accounts in a down market, or even to profit from down markets. Wealthy investors have many means to do this. Taking these products away from ordinary
Brokerage firms are typically paid transaction-based compensation, which means the firm might have an incentive to encourage you to trade often. If you notice a seemingly high level of activity in your brokerage account, this could be a sign of a type of misconduct known as “excessive trading.”
Thank you FINRA for extending the period for commenting. Also, I thank you for attempting to make the U.S. Equities Market a fairer and safer place for retail investors to do business. This year is the first in which I became a direct participant in the U.S. Stock Market. Before this year I only passively participated though my retirement plan, but this year I proudly became a retail investor.
More oversight and transparency is needed for short interest, options, and derivative products. It is not acceptable that there is a maximum threshold for short interest set at 140% where in actuality it could be much much higher. It also appears that there is no enforcement of false reporting. There is evidence that Citadel has call option contract out larger than shares existed while retail
The traction this GME/AMC saga has gained will continue. It is in the best interest of FINRA to increase accountability for short interest, if a few market makers have to power to shift stock prices then where has the free market gone? Cellar Boxing is a form of manipulation hedge funds can use to bankrupt and profit (without taxes) what may become great companies. Please require reporting of any
As long as you have a margin account, leveraged and inverse funds don't matter because you can use margin leverage and short the funds. The leveraged and inverse funds are much safer to manage the risk rather than using margin because unlike leveraged margin positions, the leveraged and inverse funds never go negative price. In that sense, the leveraged and inverse funds are actually safer
Warning: Rule #22-08 is currently the subject of a deceptive advertising attack. Let's play "which of these is not like the others": * Target Date Funds * Funds using cryptocurrency futures * Reverse Convertible Notes * Volatility-Linked Funds The answer is "Target Date Funds". I don't use this, I don't intend to use this; but it's an old tool that's
