Thoughts on leveraged tickers.

Benefits:
The premiums are huge, easier to roll than some of my #pietrade names
Because it is an ETF like @jsd501 mentioned one company going bankrupt or merging is not going to destroy the ETF it will still be there.
Most are fairly liquid.
Can take a directional bet if you are into that kind of trading 🙂
Can use them to move into and out of sectors

Risks:
Leverage cuts both ways
Looking at how most are structured do not think we will have an XIV/SVXY occurrence but several have had reverse splits. Need to pay attention to potential reverse splits.
A rapid move may take some time to recover.
Some move a lot more than others, TQQQ for example moves more than TNA.
Margin requirements are stricter. TOS requires full cash value when calculating margin. Don’t know if it is different for portfolio margin.

So far the moves have been more manageable with these than some of my #pietrades. I would not load the boat on them, but see this as a viable option to single tickers to get better premiums and easy rolling.

Thoughts, others seeing something with risk that I may have missed? Anyone found any others I have missed?

Currently using ERX, FAS, TNA, TQQQ, UPRO, UDOW, LABU (many reverse splits), BIB (no weeklies 😦 ), UYG same, UCO, UBIO no weekly, SOXL no weekly.

Anybody found others wiht decent option volume?
