Investors in todays world are much more aware of risks of investing than ever before in the past. Their risk appetite is not a simple measure of what instruments they could invest in as even equities, margin, options, etc allow them to take infinite risk. These regulations seem completely arbitrary and are not in touch with reality. A better and more productive step would be to provide better resources to retail investors for their education instead of such measures.
