There has never been a period in human history where more knowledge is readily available to the average person. In a time where in depth explanations of these products can be found within 30 seconds, not to mention detailed discussion boards, it's unreasonable to add more restrictions to retail investors.
You should be focusing on removing restrictions instead.
Leveraged and inverse funds provide a readily understood and well regulated option for retail investors to effectively hedge themselves or to take on more risk when desired.
