Restricting trading of leverage products is unwarranted. The brokerage companies give you ample information and disclosures about the risks. This type of product is fast moving and should be monitored throughout the day. It is a short-term trade. Overnight positions are extremely dangerous. A product that offers 2X or 3X the underlying index is not complicated. It merely has higher risk reward
I use inverse etfs to hedge my portfolio. Similar to long only etfs, it allows short position across a broader spectrum than a single stock short position. In my circumstance, understanding and managing the risks of utilizing an inverse etf are a much better way to manage downside risk than the complexity of shorting individual stocks.
It is the investors duty to make sure they perform they fulfill their due diligence on the stocks they are going to invest. Most of the trading platforms warn the investor about the nature and volatility risks of these stocks already. There is no need for extreme oversight as such.

Having access to leveraged and inverse products allows individuals to protect themselves as integral parts of their portfolios and create opportunities to build wealth.

It’s a matter of human rights to allow individuals to choose their positions in the market with intelligence, education, and any capital that could offset the problems that have been created for us. We are trading with depreciating dollars that have
FINRA Requests Comment on the Effectiveness and Efficiency of Its Carrying Agreements Rule
I use the leveraged investments as part of my investment strategy with certain portion of my investment for a long time.

All investments contain risk. Leveraged index instruments in particular do not carry any higher risks, say, than pre-revenue stocks or stocks that generate negative earnings. Even blue-chip and/or trusted companies can rarely be held forever (e.g. NFLX).
FINRA: either impose these draconian measures on all these investments or leave then all alone.
Stop trying to "protect" retail investors from themselves. We don't need your protection. We make our own decisions. You are just making the playing field uneven. I am fully educated in the risks of my own actions and spend many hours researching, running simulations and learning and I am satisfied with my own risk tolerances.
