yes, let's not argue one controversial topic by introducing another. we all know HN has a deep disagreement over gun regulations. I do feel that a lot of the restrictions on amateur trader have the effect of barring "normal" people from making some of the best investments. I ought to be allowed to fail like the best of them. the catch here is that I don't bear all the risk if I fail. if I lose everything on a stupid trade, I am entitled to lean on my fellow taxpayers for support. some balance needs to be struck between allowing me to fail and requiring other people to pick me back up if I do.
