I should be able to choose public investments that are right for me, and these investments should be available to all of the public. I should not have to go through a special process or test to invest in inverse and leveraged funds. I understand their risks well - information on them is widely available. Leveraged and inverse funds are an important part of my investing approach, allowing me to hedge against risk and/or achieve better returns. I use them as a limited part of my portfolio where higher risk is acceptable, and I monitor those risks on a daily basis.
