While I agree there is increased risk to leveraged ETF's, I do not think they should be removed for investment by regulators. ETf's are a great way to make money in bear markets, and on certain sectors of the financial markets. I do believe in educating investors and warning them as much as possible about the increased risks and time decay of ETFs. Also any financial institution that holds these ETFS should NOT remove them just because it doesn't work for them financially at a given time. example TVIX.
