Hi, Having the ability to hedge my retirement funds is essential when there is high volatility in a high volatile world. The easiest way to do this is with a leveraged inverse ETF of the SP500 or Nasdaq. The drift risk in a leveraged inverse ETF is a lot les risky compared to options trading or short selling to hedge a portfolio. Options are complicated, expensive and short-term forms of insurance. Short selling is risky since there are infinite losses, expensive interest and I am responsible for paying dividends on the security I am short selling. Inverse leveraged ETFs allow me to mitigate risk within my retirement plan at a low cost during times of high volatility. Whatever money I invest in a leveraged inverse ETF is seen as insurance and I only lose the money I put into this ETF. Please don't force me to hedge my hard-earned money with even more riskier and expensive types of portfolio insurance like options or short selling.
