The TRACE Reporting section of the 2018 Report on Exam Findings informs member firms’ compliance programs by describing recent findings and observations from FINRA’s examinations, and, in certain cases, also providing a summary of effective practices.
I am writing as a free American who works hard for his money and is able to make his own decisions on what to with his money. I am very capable of doing my own research and to think on my own. I do not in any way need you protecting me from my self my actions are mine to own good or bad. If no one failed we wouldn't know success. Please allow us to think and invest how we please. When I
To whom it may concern, Instead of regulators choosing which investments I can and can't use, I should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public. I shouldn't have to go through any special process before you can invest in public securities. If a product is complicated, there are already rules
Most people completely understand all the risks inherent in leveraged and inverse funds. Brokerages provide notices for people who do not understand them as a warning (which should be enough!) and it should be an investors responsibility to know what they are investing into.

A free market allows all people the opportunity to invest in the same equities - whether you are a millionaire or a recent high school graduate with your first part time job. Pro Shares provides the everyday man the ability to invest in inverse funds and balance their portfolios as
Dear FINRA,
I think the current rules for investors are sufficient and there should not be more regulations placed on people in making investment decisions. I believe the vast majority of investors understand the risks of being in the market. Leveraged investments and those for accredited investors provided needed capital and are valuable tools in managing risk in a portfolio. Investors do not
Failure to Deliver should not exist. The basic rules of supply and demand are betrayed by this concept. If a Christie’s auction failed to deliver the auctioned item, but sent a replica that is treated and “valued” just as with the original, both of their prices are then diluted. Nefarious intent lies behind the semi-rational “because we need liquidity” argument for naked shorting and strategic
