Oct. 29, 2022
October 29, 2022 I am a retail investor and have been actively investing in individual securities since roughly 2018. I have no education in finance or advanced understanding of how our markets work but I have had first hand experience of trying to survive through really hard times brought about by financial crises upon the american people by bad faith actors (institutions) who were greedy and overleveraged their positions and used swaps to avoid scrutiny. While I think the government should be way more involved in regulating our markets than they currently are I think a lot of recent rule change proposals are a great step in the right direction for protecting the United States economy and american citizens. Mandatory swap reporting would bring transparency to a sector of the market that is currently hidden from regulators. I wrote this on my phone and apologize in advance if my comment structure is poorly written.
