Really bad advice.
Risk has a time-dimension. If you want to invest in triple leveraged funds, do so on a very short time-scale. ie a few days.
On a longer time-frame, months, years, these funds trend towards zero.
There are a lot of articles and whitepapers on the math behind leveraged funds. I would recommend reading them before investing.
These are not "investments" btw. These are tactical trading tools.

- spaetzleesser 5y agoThe last decade has seen a massive effort to prop up all asset classes including stocks at any cost. This can't go on forever and won't. I have seen the 2000 .COM crash and the 2008 crash and at the moment it feels the same as when it was leading up to the crashes. There are plenty of people whose only experience is always rising markets so they think this will keep going on (it will until it doesn't). Same could be said for tech workers. I think a lot of them will have a rude awakening in the next few years when they realize that their great jobs were not because of their own brilliance but because they were lucky to ride a huge bubble.
