its my duty as an investor to understand the risk and rewards. Why does someone with more net assets have to have more knowledge then me, sure your saying that becuase they have more assets they can diversify more but they can make the same mistakes as anyone else. I shouldnt have to pass a test to buy a stock, if I dont do enough accurate erase arch it should be on my just like any other stock
I am not an expert in investments, but I understand how the stock market works. It is my decision to invest a part of my savings in the stock market, I think its one of the liberties of this beautiful country. Plus, I think I will gain more money in the long run than what the banks can offer me. Surely my money in the bank will lose value everyday with inflation. I hope these restrictions are not
To All elected officials-
Investing in funds that I believe is in my best interest is very important for me. Please do not tie my hands on my money that I worked very hard for. My investments are my business. This is a free country that I fought for. Lets make sure it stays that way. This needs to be treated like any other stock. All investors know that all stocks are a risk. To make it clear
Leveraged and inverse funds are important to my investment strategies. They are no different than other basic public stock investments. They further allow me to hedge the risks associated with individual stock purchases. I am fully capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds and their risks. Once again it appears such rulings are meant to intrude on my ability to freely trade and invest
Shares should have a tracking number on them. Trading would be simplified and tracking fraud would be easy to find. Locates also need to be recorded as soon as they are put in use and or taken off the books when finished using...... IN A CENTRALIZED PLACE FOR ALL TO SEE.... As of right now. creating more float than available is a major problem. When the float of a company is held... The price
You guys need to look into the dark pool, The synthetic shorts, the illegal shorts hedge funds are barrowing and/or taking, the stock manipulation they're doing to both AMC/GME. And certain platforms associated w/ big hedge funds are turning off the "BUY" button with no consequences!!!! This has been going on for years but with these meme stocks it's at an all times high. It
The idea that institutions can sell shorts on a stock without actually owning a stock is absolutely unbelievable. Then add to that the ability to not even have to imitably purchase shares is ludicrous. Oh then scare them with putting them on threshold list that never gets enforced. Also a 48 hour delay to report in today’s worlds is totally inappropriate. Why not at the close of everyday shorts
Please do not regulate or remove our access to weighted ETF's. I use these when market sentiment has gotten bad and stocks are down. It is my hedge to help me recover losses in my core holdings. I believe it is safer than a stock option because there is no time expiration and there is diversification. All I need is patience with it. It is a necessary tool to allow me to hold my core
If you limit access to leveraged and inverse securities you should do the same for ARK etfs. They are treacherous. Many common stocks represent more risk the the leveraged etfs. I realize that the etfs don't track exactly at 2X or 3X but they are close enough. Look at a long term chart of SSO or UPRO. They are far more predictable than most common stocks or ETFs. The "Big Boys"
I should have the same rights and privileges as any other company or individual with regards to ALL stock market investment choices, including leveraged and inverse funds. First and foremost, the stock market is there for the public good, not the privileged few. I am fully capable of understanding the risks of investing and it is my responsibility to bear those risks. It is FINRA's
