This is as misguided on the part of FINRA as it gets. The entire regulatory structure is built to support the "long equities all the time" theme. Decades of essentially free money have made publicly traded equities on US exchanges one of the riskiest assets in the world. When the bond market takes the printing press away from the Federal Reserve (it is not a question of if, but when), US equities can easily tank 50%. These products will give investors the opportunity to protect their investments in the coming years.
