Inverted ETFs are the #1 way that allows retail investors the ability to protect their portfolio against the declines in the general stock market or within industries. Once again, taking a tool away that actually gives the little guy an even stage with the big players. Then you wonder why you have situations like meme investing... Leveraged ETFs allow me to take protective positions without as much capital. This just seems like yet another example of laziness in addressing an issue. Inverted ETFs is about educating the public about them, not taking away or limiting a very useful tool. At most a warning message should pop up when taking a position in these securities, but they should not be taken away or limited. They serve a very useful purpose.
