The "big guys" have enough power and tools already to influence the actions of the stock market and I believe in many cases individual stocks. It's important that individual investors have the ability to invest, or trade, leveraged investments and inverse funds to achieve their portfolio objectives. These vehicles allow specific sector investing, regardless of the market conditions, without excessive exposure to any one company in that sector. This strategy is important in mitigating risk, or to hedge against other positions, in both up and down markets. There is plenty of educational material out there to help us independent investors understand the risks and strategies associated with this type of investment vehicle. Independent investors are not ignorant or careless risk takers, they do their research and understand the risks associated with their choice of investments. Please don't add additional regulations to make it even more challenging to be a successful independent investor!
