For several reasons, I have decided that ETFs are just not suitable for trading

Quote from increasenow:

yes, need huge cash to trade ETF stocks...BUT...ETF options are the sole way to go...

I'm playing options on FXE to get exposure to EUR/USD.

no way...doesn't FXE have like no volume/liquidity and also the bid/ask spread is as huge as the grand canyon...correct???
 
Apologies to the OP if my question below is a "red herring" given his/her opening post, but since it seems some active ETF traders are contributing to this thread, I wanted to get opinions on the following ...

Have any of you yet noticed any effect on liquidity/spreads/volumes in respect of the leveraged members of "top 20/30 ETFs" since FINRA raised margin requirements for these on December 1st? I haven't, but I only follow closely a very small universe and so am keen to read the views of others ...

Thanks!
 
I only trade/invest with ETFs that actually carry the underlining securities to mimic the indicies they claim to track.


The 2x/3x leveraged short/long etf's are worst instrument ever to play the markets. Huge fee's, natural decay and shitty correlations.

I also don't usually trade those etf's who use swaps, futures and other unconventional decaying methodologies.
