Individual investors should have available opportunities to invest like professionals without being subject to severe limitations. Being able to invest in leveraged and inverse securities is important to avoid margin or shorting requirements in a negative trending market.
There are dar worse issues, like naked short selling that you should address and deal with first. There are no issues with leveraged etfs for experienced traders and investors. Perhaps concider requiring a minimum account balance to be able to trade leveraged etfs.
