Its interesting to see how FINRA favors "big money", who causes most of the chaos and wide market swings, over those of whom are considered the (retail investor). Every prospectus lists the risks associated with the particular stock or fund, stating "Investor beware", yet FINRA considers margin and option trading less riskier. Regulators tend to pick the
I should not regulators be able to choose the public investments that are right for myself and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.
I shouldn't have to go through any special process like passing a test before I can invest in public securities, including cryptocurrency funds such as BITO. I am capable of understanding

I have the right to decide which public equities, bonds and funds I want to buy. It will help I achieve long-term financial security. It is an investors right to freely access the entirety of the
