leveraged inverse etfs are awesome, 3x the % the market goes down. sqqq is the goat if you know what you are doing and if you time it right. and its not like a short because you don't borrow any money. if you invest $10,000 in sqqq and the nasdaq-100 goes up significantly (meaning sqqq drops), the maximum loss you can incur is $10,000. you wont owe any additional money beyond this initial investment. the other fag mentioned decay: volatility drag: when the market moves up and down (volatility), even if the general trend is in your favor (in this case, down for nasdaq), the daily reset means each day's gain or loss is based on the previous days adjusted value. this means youre effectively working with a smaller base after a loss, which reduces the potential future gains. compounding: if the market sees sharp ups and downs (even if the trend is downward), the leveraged etf doesn't compound in a linear way. instead, gains and losses multiply off the new value each day, which often leads to a net loss over time in a volatile market.
