My family would not have been able to purchase our current home without having make the incredibly shrewd and well-researched decision to invest in a leveraged ETF, when we began doing over ten years ago.

Against. More regulation restricting class mobility. 'Complex products' caused 2008 and need as much transparency as possible.
