Leveraged investments should be available to public investors, regulation on leveraged ETFs will not lower the risk of stock market investments but will rather lower the freedom of the market itself. Power will also shift from individuals to major institutions who are able to meet proposed measures. These institutions will then have even more power against common investors. Leverage will not go away, it will simply be shifted to those who already have power and influence.
