I understand with the influx of retail investors in the past couple years there is a need to help protect them from all of the complex investment options out there, however, restricting use is not the answer. It seems at every turn recently, the retail investor is used as the excuse for a problem that is caused by the major hedge fund and market makers. Retail traders do not have the ability to make the S&P behave like a penny stock with violent swings. The protection for retail needs to come with transparency for all and a level playing field, not restricting investments that for some are the only way to protect their assets from the money at the top.
