Regulators are now signaling they anticipate a huge market crash and need to protect the den of thieves. Couldn't be more evident. Go get em regulators! Get those small investors! There's still more to steal! Hoorah!
I agree that education into the operation and risks of more complex products should become a mandatory prerequisite to invest/trade in them, the other proposed changes are a step too far and I believe not required.
