I do not believe regulators should be able to choose which investments may be proper for me to invest in. Leveraged investments allow me to achieve the level of returns that I want with only having to risk 1/2 to 1/3 of the amount of money that I normally would. Inverse funds help me hedge against losing gains in other funds. Having a well rounded portfolio is always better than half a strategy. Leaving certain types of investments available only to the privileged doesn't seem like the way to run a free and open market system.
