Markets are made up by 2 sides and investors should have the freedom to choose to stand on either side of an investment, whether it's on forecast of high demand or low demand. That's the definition of a free market.
In terms of leverage I support that brokerage be very clear in its warning about the high risk potential of such investment tools, but once investor opts in it's a sign-off on accepting such a risk at his/her own benefit and/or peril. Do retail investors have to ask to be treated as functioning adults?
