TZA: Small Caps Are Set For Growth If The Fed Cuts Key Rate

TZA is a leveraged inverse ETF offering -3x daily exposure to the Russell 2000, suitable only for short-term trading, not long-term investment. Due to daily compounding and index performance trends, holding TZA long-term risks substantial value decay and amplified losses. Upcoming interest rate cuts could benefit small-cap stocks, increasing the likelihood that TZA underperforms if the Russell 2000 rises.

TZA: A Weapon Of Choice To Profit From Small-Cap Weakness

Small caps are in trouble, and TZA is one of my preferred ways to try to profit from that. The other is owning puts on IWM, the index ETFs that TZA essentially shorts at a 3:1 ratio.
