This proposed regulation only inhibits free markets. Short selling or inverse ETFs were banned back in the 2008 collapse and simply equated to a rigged market. Why don't you regulate the purchase of long position shares when the market goes up too quickly? The only throttle considered is on the down side, which could be used to hedge other positions and/or anticipate and profit from downturns. It appears that the proposal will only allow the big money players to capitalize and keep the small to medium investors out of the markets. Instead, why don't you stop the legalized insider trading of all the congressmen and senators and other politically exempted folks?
