I currently use a leveraged inverse fund to protect my portfolio. As it does not pay dividends, I'm not heavily in it, it only serves to protect my capital.

These proposed regulations are outrageous. In a time when markets are posed to melt down, what other hedge does the average investor have but leveraged and inverse funds?
