  • Understanding Triple Leveraged ETFs [View article]
    As several have said already these things aren't easy to short. Plus add on the cost of holding the shorts. Then, if we don't have a sideways market for 5 months and instead move quickly in one direction or the other you're either rich or toast.

    You'll probably get it right though. Cheers.

    Shorting two inverse ETFs that are comprised of all kinds of frankenstein securities isn't arbitrage. Its a wolf in sheep's clothing.
