I am appalled that you would consider removing something from the common person to help them in down times.... something that is available to your rich friends. It's defined loss the same as any other long position. Take your hands off my investments and my future!

Do not implement this regulation. The federal government never properly evaluates unintended consequences. Stop treating the general population as though they cannot read and understand.

Your concerns are unwarranted and can only negatively effect investors by limiting the choices we have when options trading is by far a greater risk. Thanks
This kind of regulation will only make it more difficult for the average citizen to achieve financial independence and awareness. This is the kind of barrier that allows institutions to maintain their monopoly on advanced trading tactics and instruments.
