I do not need a regulator to tell me what I can invest in or not, unless there is clear evidence that there is insufficient market competition, market failure or market inefficiency. I use a portion of leveraged funds to either hedge my overall portfolio, or to enhance my returns, depending on where the market stands at a given time. As an almost-fulltime personal investor, I am well-versed in the workings of the market and its investment vehicles, and don't need a regulator to work on my behalf, at the risk of possibly interfering with or inhibit my results.
There is sufficient information out there for everyone to smart up on the risks of investment instruments and act accordingly.
If it ain't broke, there is no need to fix it.
