FINRA:
I strongly object to the proposed FINRA regulatory notice 22-08.
The proposed measure is quite simply just another example of arrogant governmental agency overreach hatched under the disingenuous guise of protecting the consumer/investor.
Investor rights and abilities to buy/sell whichever public securities they may choose, whenever they choose, must be preserved without interference or
I strongly oppose regulators determining which investments are the correct ones for me and my family.
Our industry needs to focus more time and effort on educating the general public and engaging with younger demographics K-12 students to help develop financial literacy programs at a younger age.
Investments should be available to everyone, not just the wealthy or privileged. If regulators are
Individual investors are more educated and have more educational resources than ever. I dont see that there is a need to limit individual investors in a way that is a step back for flexibility and individual choice. Limiting individuals in a significant manner as proposed simply creates a potential monopoly for registered financial advisors to offer services that an individual simply cant have
Individual investors did not blow up the economy in 2008 with the use of leveraged investments they didn't understand, over-leveraged financial institutions (and the credit agencies that bodies like FINRA failed to regulate) did. Are you planning on prohibiting those same financial institutions from using leveraged investment or are you going to once again bend retail over in the guise of
I think the current system of allowing financial institutions to transfer their short positions is highly ineffective and damaging to the stock market as a whole and must be stopped. If parties involved in shorting companies cannot cover their positions after failing to deliver in the already existing time periods and have passed the fail to deliver threshold list requirements I think they should
I consider it vital that ordinary investors retain the right to invest in leveraged, inverse funds such as UVXY. During market declines, these are frequently nearly the only investments that go up, while everything else goes down together like a flock of birds. During the financial crisis of 2008, I was wiped out because I only invested in stocks which my investment letters assured me would be
I am opposed to government regulators restricting individual financial accounts! It would change the dynamics of a free and open market economy! For instance, the ETF symbols, BOIL & KOLD, have a boom and bust historical market cycle. The NATURAL GAS traders can swing the market prices wildly and that is how markets operate. I believe president Biden and his administration will bear down
Effective Tuesday, May 28, 2024, in accordance with the SEC’s amendments to Exchange Act Rule 15c6-1(a) to shorten the standard settlement cycle from two business days (T+2) to one business day (T+1), FINRA will implement its changes for equity trade reporting.

Comments: As an RIA and CFP Professional with over two decades experience I can tell you that retail investors are far more experienced, savvy and informed than when I started in the business. Teenagers invest through their phones, something I never dreamed of at their age. The disclosure and consumer warnings required by leveraged products providers more than addresses the risks involved in
