Hello,
Everyone should be free to invest and take risks. I'm all for full disclosure. For example, disclose Point by point:
1, These are high risk investments.
2. The stock market goes up most of the time. Betting against it is risky.

Dear sirs
Thank you for letting me know your consideration of leveraged ETF. I am testing an investment strategy using leveraged ETF. According to my extensive simulation, the strategy itself does not represent higher risk. But short term wise, it can fluctuate a lot. The reward is better than the market average. Therefore, the risk/ reward ratio is low.
ETF of market does not have the risk of
