The line between betting, investing, and insurance is blurring. For example, if I want to hedge my exposure to tariffs on copper wire, I can now "bet" that new tariffs will be implemented on metals.

That's a good thing? But it opens up a Pandora's box of bad things, too.



Hedging exposure to copper wire tariffs is not something ordinary people need to do. There's no reason to allow this at a retail level.
