So smart people: if the "throw money around indiscriminately" checks come next month, and I want to invest $2,000 for my retirement in 15 to 25 years, what stocks or sectors make the best investment at the moment?
If you don't know what "leveraged" means or the far scarier, "3x leveraged", assume they mean "You will lose everything"
It’s for the investors who have an already established portfolio, and this product should be seen as play money on the side. It’s for speculation.It seems to me the only three people on the planet who would invest in that instrument would be the President, the Fed Chair, or MBS, who could each tank the economy by themselves.
How the f-ck can this do 23M in volume? Srsly? Is it just crook brokers burning their clients for the commissions?

They could use that money to help people.
