I feel that the reporting needs to be more frequently and made available to the public on short positions, naked shorts and shirt interest. Retail investors are at a disadvantage for not seeing the changes in markets and the flow of orders and the short interest that are restricted or limited to a monthly reporting scheme. It allows market makers and big players to manipulate the market and make
Timely and accurate information accessible by all participants in the markets only make them better. Daily shorts by number of shares, , Stock borrowed, % of float short, FTD (and even FTR) and changes from last report in all these categories. As a dream data point for me: cost of stock borrowing. All this date is available daily except the only way to accumulate it is to PAY a company to provide
As an individual investor I would like a fair market with the same information and resources open to all for investment researchers, from big hedge fund firms to individual investors, me. It is completely unfair Short-sellers can sell naked shorts, or empty shares or whatever you want to call them while, I, not a big [REDACTED] firm, have to pay for each of my shares from my hard earned money.
I am outraged that you call Structured Product "complex investments." How can you paint these products with such a broad brush? Frequently companies use futures to hedge against many risks. Why not call their stocks complex investments as well? I believe simply informing clients of the risks, as our firm does with all the investments we sell, should suffice with any risk disclosure. We
I believe FINRA's proposed limits try to address a problem that does not exist. Retail investors should have the freedom to decide what to do with their money and Direxion does a great job with several resources in their website to inform us about the risks of leverage investments.
I understand well what the risks are of investing in leveraged ETFs and they have made me a better investor
In accordance with the SEC’s amendments to Exchange Act Rule 15c6-1(a) to shorten the standard settlement cycle from two business days (T+2) to one business day (T+1), FINRA will sponsor a final User Acceptance Test (UAT) to allow clients to test the changes for T+1 Settlement for the Over-The-Counter Reporting Facility (ORF) and the Alternative Display Facility (ADF). The test will occur on
I should be able to choose public investments that are right for me, and these investments should be available to all of the public. I should not have to go through a special process or test to invest in inverse and leveraged funds. I understand their risks well - information on them is widely available. Leveraged and inverse funds are an important part of my investing approach, allowing me to
FINRA has no business or right to regulate or limit the products in which private investors place funds. I understand and accept the risks of my investments in all types of funds. They are my funds to invest, not yours. An investment prospectus is sufficient to inform investors of the objectives and risks of any investment. Attempting to regulate who can and cannot invest in any fund, based on an
I have been investing using leveraged and inverse funds for some time now. These funds allow me to protect my portfolio without going to a pure cash position when the fed creates a downturn in the economic cycle. It has been especially critical in the last 9 months. The government will also lose taxes on these gains when the markets are in a decline if restrictions are put in place. I already
FINRA regulators, there are so many ways that the ultra-rich can become even wealthier and so many ways to stop the middle-class from doing so. By restricting inverse and leveraged investments you are further limiting the ability of ordinary Americans from having access to the same tools that the elite have. With the abundance of education and information available on the internet it is easier
