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.
Dear FINRA,
I am an individual investor, and I write in opposition to the proposed regulations which seek to substitute the judgement of federal regulators for that of individual investors seeking to make informed decisions about their own money. Your role is supposed to be to protect investors, not to hurt and control them. Unfortunately, any efforts that upend the existing disclosure-based
you make sure BD are well regulated to provide adequate information to investors. Do you assume they are not doing their job? If it is a current public investment already okayed by you why shouldnt the regular public have the right to buy it? whether it is for leverage or protection. If we end up with only passive investments there will be no market in the true sense of the word and will just

I have been trading these investment vehicles for many years and
I oppose government restriction on freely made choices to invest any fund or investment type a person wants provided the information regarding the risks of those investment vehicles are publicly available and/or provided at the time of purchase. I understand this might result in less sophisticated investors losing money but this is the risk one takes when one chooses to invest. I dont believe the

No one has a problem with investing in Amazon of Nvidia or Facebook at their high points only to watch them lose 25% of their value in a matter of weeks if not days. But yet you want to "protect me" from a leveraged or inverse fund. Best case scenario is you do nothing and let me be responsible for me. At worst is a one time information screen that I agree that I am trading in a
This proposition poses a severe threat towards market fairness. Retail investors are already at a disadvantage when it comes to available tools and information compared to institutions. Restrictions like this will only tip the balance even more.
Retail traders or investors should be able to freely choose whatever products that fit their trading strategies. Finance is NOT only for the rich or the
