Interest in Leveraged ETFs Waning?

My online brokerage adds an additional 65% to the current 35% margin maintenance requirements for the 3x ETFs and an additional 40% to 2x ETFs. Technically you can do your own leveraging by using your margin account to buy 3 times the amount of XLF as FAS. One thing I like about the 3x and 2x ETFs is; I don't like to hold them overnight and definitely not over the weekend. I'm afraid if I leverage a regular ETF I won't be as cautious. As far as I'm concerned the 3x and 2x ETFs are great daytrading vehicles. But, I can live without them.

Oh by the way.......I'm white and I tend to vote for the most part republican.

Shorting to Take Advantage of Overbought Market

This is a free country and you are afforded the right of free speech. And, I shall defend your right to free speech for fear that if you are censored, one day I too will be censored.

But, I very much despise your racial overtones in describing President Elect Obama.
