A reasonable review of an investors competence could provide value for these leveraged products. However, having invested for twenty years on my own, I will say there's less knowledge required and less risk in these products than individual options. Similar to leveraged products, individual stock options can also be used as a hedge or to provide higher growth potential, however, they take
I strongly disagree with the notion that more "guardrails" are needed for retail investors dealing in so-called "complex products."

Some people aren't good at tests but are capable of incredible knowledge and
Remove settlement days on stock held in a broker account. Stop day traders who push and manipulate the market. Penalize "experts" who say one thing and invest the opposite. Where were you guys when Goldman was making recommendations to it clients and betting against them. Clean the game up before you try to limit participation. What big vested interest is causing to to propose this? Who
