This rule, being arbitrary and capricious, appears to be an attempt to limit the retail trader from benefitting from falling equities. Essentially limiting their ability to hedge the market. It's a misguided attempt to prevent a collapse of US equities which is unavoidable. A blatant attempt to stifle the retail trader from prospering in a highly manipulated market while securing the profits of large 401k institutions that don't provide any hedge against falling markets. If FINRA wants to protect the retail trader it should require these fund managers to provide inverse vehicles to invest in. Regards Stephen Power
