These inverse etfs help me hedge my portfolio in periods of downturn. I don't beleive you have the right to tell me whatvto invest in. These are available for bigbinsitutions in some form or another and are easer for me to use instead of shorting individual stocks myself.
I would expect firms, banks, funds, institutions to have to disclose short positions as well as naked short interest as it directly affects company stock value which affects investor's investments. Make it a rule and enforce it.
