Do you REALLY think the solution is to allow the members that have been engaged in blatant market manipulation against retail investors to make the judgement call on whether a retail investor is being taken advantage of and disable their ability to buy or sell a stock?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Do you even begin to understand how negatively this will impact retail investors when their positions
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or “Commission”) a proposed rule change to amend Rules 6110 and 6610 to expand the summary firm data relating to over-the-counter (“OTC”) equity trading that FINRA publishes on its website.
Please do Not limit me or my financial investment adviser by limiting the use of leveraged products. Granted these are aggressive products, but everything about stock buying or stock shorting, is aggressive. These products are simply tools to be used at the appropriate time. For example, during big market corrections in the past they give you a chance to recover more quickly from a 20% plus

There is an obvious lack of regulation when it comes to short positions. The regulation that exists does not offer enough punishment to deter unlawful actions. The threat of jail time would be a much better deterrent for fraudulent activity as compared to fines. Isn't this how it works for everyone, or just the lower classes? There are two currencies; money and time. Criminals can make their
Hello - It has been brought to my attention that FINRA is considering taking action against "complex products" which include leveraged and inverse funds. Leveraged funds are important to my investment strategy. I use them as a limited part of my portfolio with the goal of seeking enhanced returns. It should be my option to choose which investments are right for me and my family. I'
Please do not impose new restrictions on trading leveraged funds that will effect our ability to continue trading the way we are now. For many people like myself and my family, leveraged funds are a very important part of our investment strategy. We do not feel that it is right to be restricted from trading them simply because we do not have a license, passed a test, or have a particular net
Current total short interest updated no less than once per day. Short position averages as well as amounts sorted by length held. Ie: 400k shorted shares still uncovered/ current position lifespan 24 days. Total disclosure of what exactly is being pushed through dark pools.

1. Leverage to the extreme has gotten us into a lot of financial problems ... people, companies, cities, states, the country as a whole and the world. Mortgages with no money down (total leverage), 5X and 10X leverage bond products sold prior to the 2008 crash or 3X funds for stocks or commodities.
Often, when these investments break down, the issuers get off with a slap on the hand and the
