  Might be wise to step away from the stock market at this time and cryptocurrency. Why? There are those who do not like Trump. i.e. Soros who have the financial status to crash the markets and know how to while playing options to increase their financial position of power.

  If you lose your money trading (risky) assets, it’s entirely your fault. There shouldn’t be any regulations over that. In a free country you are free to be as stupid as you want to be and lose as much money as you can. We need more education, not regulation.
