    JE: You have a point but if you go to my blog, you'll note that my title is different: www.thebetabrief.com/?... But you're right ... I'm still not sure if I was focusing on the similarities or the differences. So many of both I guess. Reply

    ProShares ETFs: Why Volume Trading Makes a Difference [view article]
    John, That is a great question. I do not have the answer, but I suspect they are using some kind of derivative to produce this. I have found that the Ultra's are fantastic to trade. Good luck. Reply

    QID and QLD have been very reliable at 2x.

    Er.. Uh..... Hmmmm..... Somewhere you lost track of 'the differences between China and the US' ... Still I hope you got 'whatever' off your chest... I've been reading a lot about China lately and hope to visit in the next few months (After the Olympics... ).. Was really hoping for something substantial... Oh yeah! Grace is cool ... She hasn't posted much lately though...

    Thanks for the article.

    I think the Proshares ETF are not reliable.

    Let's take the example of FXP. They are not double short but only 1.7 short.

    The prices are very inconsistent.

    For example:

    I bought FXP on March 6th at 99. That day, FXI closed 135.66.

    On March 24th, FXP was at 106.92 and FXI 128.35 (same as today).

    Today FXP closed at 87.98 and FXI closed at 128.66

    Thanks for the feedback Aquater and good selection in mentioning PRPFX.

    Rather than a 'hodge podge concoction', the portfolio has been carefully crafted with a great deal of attention given to offsetting non-correlated asset classes, macro level themes and specialty plays managed using a top down economic forecasting approach.

    By only managing 20 ETFs allows for a very simple model to be handled by our portfolio team and one that only requires reallocation on a quarterly basis. Inclusion of sectors only recently appearing in the ETF universe is also providing significant alpha to the composition in the first half of the year.

    To provide greater detail on the specific weightings and recent modifications I can be reached off list at mcmillan@agilewealth.c...

    Too messy a portfolio. Seems it is made just to impress a novice by including some currently fashionable sectors and including a complex array of etf's whose overall coherence is not explained or may not be explainable. As a challenging alternative, look at a simpler but highly effective vehicle like PRPFX (Permanent Portfolio). It already as a great record. The proposed hodge podge concoction, on the other hand, will certainly fail unless changed uncannily by correctly anticipating fast changing future events. Any thinking intellect can do better. Reply

    I'll try it this way, but it doesn't seem to post. Since it won't post you might go to their website and look for this interview on their site via Investors Business Daily.
