I tried to purchase AMC stock in January, I was denied and frozen by Robinhood. I put in the money and tried to purchace below 10$, they refuse to execute my order...then wouldn't let me cancel it. They finally filled it after it hit the high around 18$ I have screenshot and email. Then, all of my friends were limited to buying power of a few shares a day! The economic impact is drastic as
To me, it is absolutely absurd that short positions are not required to be reported. If you require long positions to be reported, why shouldn't short positions? It seems as though the regulators are far too concerned with keeping the status quo and are letting hedge funds run wild, in a largely unregulated portion of the market.

Dear FINRA,
I've heard and am very concerned about the potential new regulations restricting access to leveraged and inverse mutual funds and ETFs.
It is very important for the US regulators to allow free and fair access to creative investment products in a publicly available format. In fact, there have been many private investment vehicles (hedge funds, private equity, venture capital
I strongly oppose any restrictions of my rights to invest in leveraged funds. I should be able to make my own investment decisions with my own capital. I, along with many others opposing such restrictions are well aware of the risks involved with investing in leveraged funds and many of us use such funds to enhance our returns during periods of economic growth (i.e. 2010 - 2020). I do not need to
The term "complex products" is a mask on an initiative aiming to limit the ability of lower net worth individuals to invest in the same high reward vehicles as their higher net worth counterparts. This regulation is another permutation of limiting access under the guise of limited understanding. Regarding those who actually have a limited understanding, why let them invest in
