Multiple Asset Class Short-Term Returns

I second sbenard's comments: I've used LSC, as well. Great utility in its flexible L/S schedule.

Seeking Alternative Beta Instead of Nebulous Alpha

Indeed - very nice. DBV is a useful tool. And I agree that it'd be an asset class unto itself.

If we get different CurrencyShares-like offerings in the near future - such as the Brazilian Real, HK Dollar, and PRC Yuan - those, too, will provide useful options to etf investors.
