Nearly every sector of the financial world is mid-way through a painful unwinding of all things leverage. That’s right, I said nearly every sector. Triple-levered ETF funds have just launched and my guest blogger and investor Paul Kedrosky calls them ticking time bombs waiting to explode.

Why the market likes them, and Kedrosky hates them in the clip.

    so his point is that yon’ ‘Retail Investor’ is too stoopid to tie their shoes, but it’s, still, fine ‘n dandy for them to supply the font of the eternal bid(?)

    also, that ‘advice’ his was positing: ~a little fixed income, a little foreign markets, a little SPX–I bet that’s worked wonders for said peep..

    color me blanched, by being unimpressed..

    qid, sds, sso, eev is for sissies. Bring on the BGZ. I want more 4x, 5x, more, more, more. I will need it to pay a shrink for manic depression or some new fangled personality disorder I acquire.

    But seriously, when the markets become more tame, these may become more useful.
