Leveraged and inverse ETFs are no more dangerous that buying high volatility stocks and options. They have a significant advantage over other options to increase return volatility. They keep consistent leverage (unlike options/futures) and they consist of a broad market portfolio (unlike individual stocks). By restricting the purchase of leveraged/inverse ETFs, people who wish to pursue more aggressive investment strategies will have to use worse products, causing them to take more risk than if the products were available.
