WARNING! Leveraged ETFs are high risk complex financial instruments. Please do not trade or invest in any leveraged product until you thoroughly understand the risks involved. Additionally, all but 12 of the 28 ETFs researched in this article failed to outperform a non-leveraged S&P 500 index fund; meaning that most of these products are simply not worth the risk of holding them for longer than a day or so. They are intended to be used as trading vehicles, not long-term investment vehicles. Buyer beware!
