Leveraged and inverse funds allow me to gain exposure to leveraged and short positions without having to take on leverage myself. I use inverse ETFs to hedge my long positions and to express a bearish view on the market. QQQ is down roughly 20% YTD, but I have been able to hedge my long stock positions and profit from this decline through the PSQ, the inverse of QQQ. I do not want to take on
Hello, if someone is actually reading through these and actually cares I thank you. All the people want is a fair market with transparency. More and more people are losing faith in the stock market every day. Stocks like AMC are being manipulated every day in front of billions of people with nothing done. The short selling corruption with no consequences has gone long enough. These $10,000 fines
I believe it is critical that FINRA mandate daily reporting of short positions by all members, to include synthetic shares. It is clear that FINRA does not receive accurate updates from its members on the above and that it is having a profound negative effect upon the overall market.

As a hard working citizen of the USA, I put my faith in the government to ensure the system work for all investors.

The state of the United States financial markets is a disgrace in no small part due to egregious abuse of short selling. Skirting of the current rules and regulations is commonplace and the penalties of such behavior, even when caught, are laughable given the profitability of such behavior. Both the prevention of this criminal activity and bolstering of punishment for said activity must be
FINRA 21-19 is something this country has needed for a long time -- financial institutions, hedge funds and the like need to be better regulated. I didn't know a lot about the market before this year, but what I have learned is that there are too many loopholes, and a lack of enforcement of existing regulations, that allows big players to make money at everyone else's expense.
