In this video, I discuss the daily compounding effects that make it risky to hold leveraged ETFs for any longer period of time than intraday trading. There is also the risk that the ETF might not be able to get enough exposure for the next day, if MSTR experiences a volatile market close.

In conclusion, leveraged ETFs are best used solely as intraday trading vehicles. If you hold them overnight or for multiple days or weeks, you will be exposed to volatility drag. MSTR could go to $5,000 over the next 12 months, and you might still get slaughtered holding a levered 2x long MSTR ETF, if MSTR takes a volatile path getting to $5,000.
