The law is not truly being enforced as those still blatantly and destructively manipulating the market get away with it every single day, to the point where retail investors can correctly predict how a stock will be manipulated in the open market. These people need and deserve to be in prison for committing these despicable acts at the cost of those without mass money and power. The people that
Dear Regulators and to whom it may concern.
Owning and managing leveraged funds like pro shares ETFs since 2007, I understand how they work and react with market trends and am fully aware of any risks, as it is explicitly explained with no discretion from those companies and by the nature of those types of ETFs. I should be able to chose if I buy them or sell them as a regular investor, with no
Eliminate dark pools Fines should be greater than the profit hedge made from the illegal activity Jail time is needed for market manipulation. Short positions should be forcibly closed out if illegal market manipulation is found and trading rights of those involved should be revoked. Shorting taking place in the dark pool needs to be disclosed to the public. If an institution buys shares in the
To All Regulators, Regarding FINRA Regulatory Notice #22-08, I want to state that I am fully capable of choosing the public investments that are right for my family and myself. All public investments should be available to all people, not just the privileged few. I should not have to go through any special process in order to invest in certain public securities. I fully understand the risks
Comments: Regarding FINRA Regulatory Notice 22-08.
I was forced into early retirement as a result of Covid. As such, I was forced into living off my IRA earlier than planned. I have been investing and trading for 45 years. I am a small retail trader. I occasionally employ the use of leveraged and inverse ETFs to protect against losses or to enhance returns with due regard for their intended
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 nothing but fraud, with the regulatory agencies being complicit. They are complicit through their complacency, with years of unchecked fraud and market manipulation through naked short selling by large hedge funds like Citadel and Susquehana being allowed to happen
This action is not based on any evidence of misuse of leveraged ETFs. Arguably, this action would push investors into far riskier investments such as cryptocurrencies, margin trading, short term options, and penny stocks - why draw the line at leveraged ETFs? Utilizing a leveraged ETF tracking DOW30 and S&P500 as a small percentage of my portfolio helps me enhance my returns. Leveraged
Ladies & Gentlemen,
It is my understanding that the FINRA Regulatory Notice #22-08 is putting at risk my opportunity to invest in various methods of investing suggesting that I do not have an adequate understanding in how to do so while limiting the risk to me and my family. I and my family members, not regulators, should be able to choose the public investments that are appropriate
It is an outrage that FINRA is considering limiting these powerful wealth building tools for non-high-net worth individuals. Leveraged Funds have provided some of the most attractive returns over the past ten years, and will almost certainly continue to provide attractive returns as long as global capital markets continue their long bull runs.
These tools maybe be incorrectly used by uneducated,
I strongly disagree with the regulations on leveraged products that FINRA is proposing. As a retail investor, I should be able to choose my investments and make decisions as to what is right for me and my family, without having to go through some special process, be it passing tests, or meeting some net worth that only privileges those with higher net worths.. who are already advantaged with
