I currently use a leveraged inverse fund to protect my portfolio. As it does not pay dividends, I'm not heavily in it, it only serves to protect my capital. While you should protect investors from fraud, this is simply not fraud. I have a right to invest any way I choose! If these types of investments didn't work, the market would take care of them. My portfolio would be much more vulnerable to large market shifts without these funds. I expect to continue to have unrestricted access to invest in these funds.
