Trading Leveraged 2X and 3X Gold and Gold Miner Funds
You should be especially careful when investing or trading leveraged gold ETFs like the 2X or 3X funds because they include unique risks, characteristics and fees. The leveraged funds may be intended for short-term or day-trading gold only and the long-term performance of these funds may be different than the long-term performance of the underlying gold assets.
