All investors should have the opportunity it go long or short, based on their views of companies and/or the economy. These proposals feel more like an effort to limit short selling, which of course some folks have high financial motivation to want. If you want to protect retail investors, start focusing on the large banks on wall street who manipulate retail investors all the time through other means. This, in my opinion and from what I observe is the bigger problem.
