When does FINRA plan on improving their T+x system so that it’s not so abusable by hedge funds and other institutions? Blockchain for same day settlement? Are any kind of improvements coming on for retail investors in the form of information availability? As in, the info will be available sooner and will actually be relevant content and not 3 months delayed and barely relevant to the market upon
Asa long as investors have access to information they should be allowed to invest in what every type of instrument there is available. I've invested in stocks, options and most disappointing are mutual funds that you think are managed for your benefit but in a market down turn they just hold there positions. What about big time investors who take peoples money invest in companies like
You seem to be planning to go far beyond any legitimate mandate. Your role should be to make sure investors are adequately informed of the risks of leverage .

Please share your information. Thanks.
After over 40 years of equity trading, I , as other investors, are careful to invest within our own comfort zone and abilities. It is easy to see and understand the possible consequences of leveraged ETF's as well as other funds. I feel the individual is capable of determining what instruments are appropriate for each individual. I feel regulation beyond providing information is unnecessary
Hi, I'm writing to express my opposition to regulations or restrictions that prevent or encumber my ability to invest in public investments. I feel that it should be my right to invest in securities/funds that include new, upcoming, and/or non-traditional commodities (e.g. cryptocurrencies). It should be the investors right to diversify and consider all available options when implementing a
