Any attempts to restrict access to investing instruments for the public at-large should not be considered! Hedging instruments are critical to any portfolio and while they may not be for everyone, no restrictions should be put on using and accessing such instruments. If I have the right to invest as an individual, without assistance from a licensed professional, I should have available to me all the financial instruments the professionals have. Unless there is an overwhelming request from the public at large, regulators should not restrict the freedom of any citizen to spend their own money as they see fit!
