I was searching for an ETF today (turns out it went belly up) and in the process got to see the single stock 2x "ETFs". Man the market has changed! Did the SEC change the rules and made rolling out an ETF dirt cheap? For example, I have a slightly above average NVTS position. It's not a major stock by any stretch of imagination. Even after its huge run up it is still a small cap of only $3.5B market cap. But turns out that there is a leveraged ETF for it, NVTX. My last major purchase of NVTS was on October 13 and I added to it on the 15th and 16th. My Oct 13th position is up 67%. Not bad at all. But NVTX is up 300% during the same period. I may end up considering trading small portion of 2x stocks instead of what I am doing now. Of course this would mean that I'd have to be extra vigilant and carry more cash as a percentage of the account because right now I tolerate a 20% drop without losing sleep. But a 40% drop would be less tolerable, even if it's from a 300% gain. Not sure I'd want to do that. That's why I stopped focused leverage play in the first place.
