It is not the role of regulators to allow what investors can or should invest in. Regulators should however look at conflicts of interest, such as congressmen and women trading individual stocks. Dont limit the options of everyday investors who are already at a disadvantage. Regulate the advantaged (make hedge funds report more information, ban individual stock trades for congress, etc.) and leave the disadvantaged alone.
