That percentage return assumes you're fully invested in SVXY, so you're comfortable losing your full account value if SVXY collapses like XIV?

ProShares changed the leverage for SVXY. Not arguing it can never collapse but the probability decreased.

Agreed. That is why most broker in most countries lend money to traders with interest of 8% to 12%.

My guess is good and profitable traders cannot outperform the above annual 10% historically, which many brokers learned long time(400 years after Netherland).

That sounds more like a benchmark rate of return; no US broker loans money @ 8-12%. BUT plenty of US pay payday/pawn shop lender$ do much better i think, so you may be on to something big.....
