No? Should we prohibit them from investing in mutual funds since bonds are so much safer? Or maybe mutual funds are OK but individual stocks should be illegal? Or maybe just certain, whitelisted stocks above a certain market cap that the 'professionals' decide are too big to fail?

Or maybe we should let individuals decide the correct mix of yield and risk that suits their age and risk tolerance?
