These types of funds are crucial to retirement accounts that are not eligible for margin. Inverse ETF's give you the ability to protect yourself from downside risk, which is important because one is not able to put on any short positions in a retirement account.... and sometimes regular cash accounts too!
Inverse and leveraged ETF's are in all of my portfolios, because they

I have been investing since I was 12 and have a understanding of how the market works including Leverage and Inverse funds. Yes you make money and sometimes you loose money, that's life!
