  2. I wonder how many of them understand that you are not supposed to hold them over a couple of days?

    I wonder if we will ever see a 33% drop to wipe out these 3x funds?

    TQQQ is up 40% YTD despite the volatility.

    Actually, if you are in a low vol environment with a some auto correlation, long term holds can work very well.

    These products do terrible on an underlying that is volatile and doesn't trend. UNG and it's 3x leveraged ETN's were a great example of that.

    On the flip side, in 2017 (low vol, trending environment for equities) SPY was up 20% while UPRO was up 73%. That is 3.6x what the underlying did.
