It should be up to individual investors as to whether they what type of investment they chose without the proposed "red tape" despite known volatility. Many publicly traded companies have gone bankrupt or experienced huge fluctuations in stock prices and in those cases shareholders are not protected.

Investors may lose their total investment, however they should be given the opportunity for the possible huge gains as well.
