Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or “Commission”) a proposed rule change to extend temporary Supplementary Material .17 (Temporary Relief to Allow Remote Inspections for Calendar Year 2020 and Calendar Year 2021) under FINRA Rule 3110 (Supervision) to include calendar year 2022 inspection obligations through June
Hello, Thank you for opening this to comment. My only comment is that I second all of the comments regarding our markets being rigged. Please listen to retail, because without us (and we’re rapidly losing faith), even Citadel won’t be able to make markets.

I finally determined a way to
Dear FINRA regulators,
We believe it is an investors right to freely access the entirety of the public securities markets without any arbitrary restrictions. Any restrictions could potentially deny us the freedom to choose investments that could help us achieve long-term financial security.

Hello,
I have traded stocks as an individual retail trader for 20 years. I trade in a very short term and responsible manner, and supplement my retirement account using this method.
As a licensed hairdresser by trade with no college education, I have earned the bulk of the money I will retire on trading triple leveraged etfs successfully. Removing my ability to trade these tickers would severely
