I am generally of the opinion that leveraged ETFs, like Options, are not appropriate for most investors. While I would support these being available in accounts marked "Aggressive Growth" or "Trading" for account objective, their inclusion in retirement account like IRAs should be restricted due to the extreme potential for volatility. I am also of the opinion that these
Comments: There is absolutely no confusion on those products. People who are investing in those instruments should know. The ones who don't but still play it's their own responsability, not worse for them to play in a casino or play lottery. But that is certainly not the business of FINRA.

Comments:I am an educated investor and encourage the use of leveraged and inverse ETFs to remain in place
Comments: More nanny state dumbing down of the general population. I'm fully aware of the nature and volatility of leveraged ETFs.
