Why would it be necessary to restrict average investors or traders from buying these funds? We are the ones putting OUR money at risk. Don't try to save me from myself.
This attempt at preventing investors from making investments of their choosing is un-American and appears to be another way to further stack the deck against individual investors. As if the un-punished crime publically commited by Robinhood with them protecting hedge funds and stopping profits by a large group of small investors wasnt bad enough, this further rigs the game to ensure more small
So, another attempt at keeping the common man down eh? Listen. Don't limit us. If you believe in the success of what investing can do, and you wouldn't have wanted someone to limit your rise to success, whatever form that may be, then don't do it to us.

I do not need the Federal government to protect me from my own financial decisions, nor should the Federal government impose restrictions on anyone else's investment decisions. Stop assuming all Americans are stupid and in need of protection from themselves.
