Do not put restrictions or control markets. Keep it for free-world

I resent the fact that you're considering a net worth test before I'm allowed to continue to use certain leveraged or inverse ETFs. Such products allow the average investor - perhaps someone that wouldn't be considered "high net worth" - to responsibly hedge against certain eventualities.
