Opinions

• The Direxion Daily 20+ Year Treasury Bear 3x Shares ETF fund is not suitable for long term investment accounts.
• TYBS probably can be used for short term bet. If you think interest rate will hike (i.e. treasury price will drop), you can use this Direxion Daily 20+ Year Treasury Bear 1x Shares ETF as a hedge.
• Use the leveraged ETFs for short term trading i.e. few hours to 1 day at most.
