What is an ETF?

An exchange-traded fund, or ETF, is a basket of individual securities held under one product that tracks an index, group of stocks, commodity, etc. but is traded like a stock on a stock exchange. The first big point to note is that an ETF is NOT a mutual fund; ETFs prices change throughout the day just like a stock. You can read more about ETFs and how they work in this article.

The most popular ETFs are the index funds. Want to invest in the NASDAQ? Then buy shares of ETF "QQQ". Want to be short the NASDAQ? Then buy some shares of "PSQ", which is the 1x inverse of the Nasdaq 100. There are also ETFs that track the S & P 500, e.g. "SPY", and the Dow Jones Industrials has the "DIA".

Bottom line: Every major stock market index has an ETF representing both long and short.

What is a bullish ETF?

A bullish ETF is an exchange-traded fund that moves more in the same direction than its reference stock or index. Though these investments are called “bullish,” note that they are just leveraged in the same direction as the reference stock or index. That can lead to significant losses when the reference declines.

What is a 3x Bull ETF?

A 3x Bull ETF uses leverage to provide its investors three times the daily (or some other period’s) performance of an underlying stock, index, or other financial asset. For example, if the Dow moves up by 2% in a day, a corresponding 3x daily Bull ETF should increase in value by 6%.

What is 2x leverage?

An investment with 2x leverage should experience twice the performance of an underlying financial asset, which could be an index, a stock, or virtually any financial asset. Be sure to read the fine print to determine how that leverage is obtained and what it costs.
