I have managed my portfolio myself and have outperformed the market for 2022 I have done this in no small part to the downside protection offered by inverse ETFs. They allow the average investor to take short action in the market without the necessary headache of a margin account. Attempts to restrict this are misguided and will only hurt the smaller investors they intend to help. Inverse ETFs and short ETFs are some of the most innovative products to come out in the last 15 years, they HELP, not hurt average investors. What will hurt average investors are more gatekeepers and more regulations.
