Traders in leveraged and inverse products don't need the federal government's protection in the form of limiting our freedom to trade. This proposal is another rung in the ladder of a burgeoining "nanny state," and the government needs to recognize its proper role as protecting us from clear and present dangers, not hypothetical ones.
