Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the Privileged/Criminals. As the people (MIDDLE SCHOOL/POOR) we understand the conversation mush clearer than previous years. Bad enough our Birth Certificate Bonds (Year 1933 GOLD STANDARD) was stolen from our ancestors, with no education to achieve wealth. FINRA need to cut it out. WE UNDERSTAND INFORMATION
Regulations that impede my investing strategies and choices (imposed by bureaucrats who enhance their wealth by the same strategies) are unethical. We live in a digital age where information and learning is rapid and exponential. To assume that most everyone except politicians and elite wealth classes are incapable of investing with leverage is pompous and sorely mistaken. Let free people
Securities Industry/Regulatory Council on Continuing Education Issues Firm Element Advisory Update
It is ridiculous to require testing or a special process to purchase inverse funds. Investors require hedging mechanisms. With my exposure to bonds, I require some protection against rising rates, inverse treasury funds help provide that protection. We don't need a nanny, but we do need good sources of information to help us make the best investment decisions.
Please keep leveraged funds, I'm a small investor who's informed in my knowledge of how to trade and invest. My strategy is to buy and sell when it's going up but hold on when going down, so I'm not causing volatility in a down market or contributing to exacerbating a market panic. Please keep markets as free as possible. Thankyou
Dear FINRA,
As an informed and educated investor I use inverse indexes as a hedge for market downturns. We all know market trends fluctuate to the upside as well as the downside and this is a part of my investment strategy. By continuing to allow consumer investors like myself to use inverse indexes levels the playing field and allows all investors access to 'free' markets.
I oppose restrictions to my right to invest.
I understand cryptocurrency funds are new and should be regulated for an even playing field to all investors. If interested, we can find that information of crypto investment on our own. We should not be tested for a specialized investment knowledge test. Almost all other investments are available to whomever wants to invest their money without a test
The proposed restrictions will adversely impact my ability to make informed investment decisions for me and my family and further disadvantage smaller investors such as myself against large high net worth investors. These proposed regulations will further exasperate income inequality and are not good for the US economy. I kindly ask that these measures are carefully reconsidered with the small
These regulations are unprecedented and ludicrous!! Never before have regulators proposed blocking investors from investments. The function of regulators has been to insure products and their promoters fully informed investors and disclosed disclosed risks. Even private placements focus more on full and complete disclosure, than restricting investment.
Please do not play "nanny."
The proposed amendment to FINRA 4560 is a laughable attempt at improving naked short selling internal control measures, actual regulatory action, or really any kind of further obligation on the part of the involved broker-dealers. There have been hundreds if not thousands of regulatory "actions" taken by FINRA related to short sale, and misreporting/misclassification of shorts. This
