I use to trade FAS & FAZ about a year ago and like you say...leveraged by 3X can really catch you with your pants down!!...took a position in the morning one day then left for lunch and just about hurled my lunch back up...dropped about 40% in the 60 min when I was gone!!!! If you're in and out they can be fun. I even heard some guys taking positions in both at the same to hedge their risks.
Later-- PS...got the Camaro parked for the winter...feels like I'm sending a girl friend away! LOL!
