| May 3, 2023 at 17:10 | comment | added | keshlam | There really should be a hook in SE which says "the dates are wrong, maybe you meant to suggest the other question is a duplicate of this one?" There also should be a better "closely related" mechanism for things which aren't technically duplicates but which go a long way toward addressing a question, whether older or newer. But there ain't. | |

| Aug 23, 2017 at 17:17 | comment | added | JTP - Apologise to Monica♦ | @PeterCooperJr. - no hard feelings. In my opinion (read that as "as a mod, I follow the member consensus which forms our TOS, but I have my views still) the dup is best applied as a brand new question comes up, not to 'clean up' old posts. | |
| Aug 23, 2017 at 16:31 | comment | added | user42405 | Sorry if my flagging was incorrect. There didn't seem to be a lot of consensus when I had asked on meta about how to handle all the questions we have on leveraged/inverse ETFs. I figured I'd try flagging a couple which were clearly duplicates, and chose the one that had slightly more total votes and views (and I'd answered) as the "standard" version. No hard feelings were intended. Perhaps we should just embrace the duplication. | |
| Aug 23, 2017 at 12:56 | comment | added | JTP - Apologise to Monica♦ | @TravisWebb - reopened - sorry. And ironically, I had no answer there, but pretty good one here. My bad, I need to pay more attention to timing when 'close as duplicate' flags come up. | |

| Jan 4, 2016 at 12:43 | comment | added | YaReally | Read this: zerohedge.com/news/2016-01-02/…. Summary there are people betting that the entire leveraged ETF industry will go under, like the Subprime crisis. Most people (including at this site) do not understand how these work or why they carry the risk they do. I wouldn't put this as an answer as it would be incredibly unpopular to write (people don't like being called ignorant). | |
