I strongly oppose the proposed rule changes that would restrict or even block access of certain investments including leveraged and inversed funds.
The decision of choosing investment vehicles can only be made by individual investors, not a small group of regulators. To protect the interest of individual investors, the regulatory should work toward ensuring fairness by enabling equal access to
Dear regulators,
I believe, the US is a free country and it should be my choice of what I want to invest into and what not, not you. I originally came from a communist country where the government and regulators controlled and regulated every citizens' life. You are starting to remind me of those days.
Why are you going to punish responsible investors like me for a few irresponsible and

FINRA (f/k/a National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD")) is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC" or "Commission") a proposed rule change to amend FINRA's NYSE Rule 342.13 (Acceptability of Supervisors) to eliminate the requirement that the General Securities Principal Examination ("Series 24 Examination") be passed

I am a retail investor and have been for close to 12 years now. In my opinion, short sellers should be transparent in their dealings and if I had the ability, I would close dark pool opportunities for institutions since it seems to be a way to manipulate the market data overall. Regulations should be as up to date with data tracking and not be in a delay such as with the Ortix report coming out
Short selling of stocks, payment for order flow (PFOF) and Dark Pool trading should be banned completely. Shorting was banned by the SEC during the 2008 financial crisis and it has been banned in several markets worldwide.

Hello FINRA, I saw you are looking for comments on 21-19, regarding short positions. As I see it, the current US market is full of fraud, with the regulatory agencies being complicit.
