This proposal is a deliberate attempt to take the right away from the small individual investor to have and purchase leveraged and inverse funds in their accounts to take away the small investors slow reaction time (in comparison to Wall Streets fast computers). Small investors don't always have time to react to market dips and crashes. Large firms with computerized buying and selling can. The small investor needs to have a hedge built into his or her account for protection when their other stocks drop, the inverse funds can increase and offset the loss to some extent.
