This was one of the biggest factors behind the tech crash.
Leveraged ETFs faced a record $56B in selling - an all-time record.
The real problem is that these ETFs are FORCED to sell.
These products must reset their exposure daily. When markets decline, they need to reduce their positions to maintain their target leverage.
This creates a vicious feedback loop.
Falling stock prices lead to mechanical selling on rebalancing which pushes prices down even further.
South Koreans got wiped out by these products earlier this year and it's wild to see it happening again in the US.
