As a long-time trader and investor, I have always believed that it is up to each individual to understand the instruments that he or she invests in. Leveraged and inverse ETFs are no different: they have some unique risks, but also unique rewards which make them particularly well-suited to short-term hedging and even speculating. The playing field is already tilted in favor of institutional investors -- please don't add one more hurdle for retail investors.
