when millions of traders get the green light to yolo spx calls, the market will be difficult to rugpull.
agree or disagree?

I’d disagree. The removal of the PDT rule may increase retail participation, but that doesn’t mean markets become harder to “rug pull.” Most 0DTE options expire worthless, and market makers dynamically hedge their exposure. More retail call buying can actually create short-term intraday flows, but it doesn’t eliminate downside risk. If anything, easier access may just lead to more people learning how unforgiving leveraged options can be.
