While leveraged and inverse ETFs can help traders exploit extremely short-term market movements, they definitely are unsuitable for the vast majority of investors.  Typically, their holding periods should be very short.

Aggressive financial advisors may have unsuitably recommended VelocityShares 1X Daily Inverse VSTOXX Futures ETN in an effort to juice returns. Financial advisors, though, are required to recommend only those investments that are suitable for an investor in light of that investor’s age, net worth, income, investment experience, and investment objectives.  So, if your financial advisor unsuitably recommended EXIV, your brokerage firm may be held responsible for any losses incurred.

Diversification is the key to reducing risk.  Over-concentrated exposure to any sector or investment, but particularly volatile industries like oil and gas (and especially a product that seeks to leverage that risk 3x) is unsuitable for most investors.
