Holding 2X leveraged ETFs IT or LT is one of the the surest ways to decrease one's net worth they invest in options and derivatives and they reset every day I invest in 2x leveraged UBS eTRACs ETN's. They rebalance monthly. I don't know the details of what is involved with that, but hopefully it's not as painful as the stuff you're talking about. =============== It seems to me if your view of normal leveraged ETFs is correct, then the best thing to do is short them and wait for them to go to zero. That's a guaranteed money maker, if the other direction is a guaranteed money loser, right?
