This just in from the holy shit department.

100x leverage is insanity. This product is just looking to give ETFs a horrible name. Now you're going to hear the news about Johnny Investor going broke because he used ETFs as a vehicle. Naturally, the particulars of the ETF will be left out giving the whole ETF industry a bad name. I suppose we all know that ETFs aren't going away and people who take the time to understand the products and avoid crap like this will come out ahead.
UPDATE: This appears to be a hoax. http://www.jasonkelly.com/2009/11/first-100x-leveraged-etfs.html
Funny.
