The data shows that the proliferation of these exchange-traded vehicles, which allow investors to speculate on short-term moves in an underlying stock, has been almost entirely driven by their allure for these retail investors. The study also found that last year trading in the leveraged single-stock ETFs accounted for 8% of total trading on all U.S. exchanges. Source: reuters.com |
