Investing in Proshares is easier and less riskier than individual stocks that are easily manipulated by Wall Street algorithms. In case regulators seriously want to protect investors, then abolish shorting activity from stocks and market so this casino activity triggered by Wall Street can be stopped.
Please look into the manipulation that is hurting retail investors in the AMC and GameStop stocks. The short selling and dark look trading on these stocks is absolutely out of control and prevents a true free market for retail investors.

Regulating the stocks and investments the average American can invest in is the most asinine ideas I have ever heard. The fact that in order to trade a "complex product" I would need to take test and read certain materials, be wealthy, and get special approval from a broker is the worst form of gatekeeping. Not only would you be stopping a large amount of people from investing in
This REEKS of corruption by the FINRA!!! There is no one out there that FULLY understands every aspect of the stock market, Doctorates (multiple) or none. The market is simple principals that work either on an ETF or common stock. There is not a single stock that is 100% guaranteed to make a profit, some are much more riskier than others.
