  • Year to Date Performance of Leveraged ETFs [View article]
    The 200 leverage and 300 leverage ETF's are daily and weekly trading vehicles only. Do NOT buy any of these with the idea of buying and holding them for years. They react to the daily swings of a given index or a basket of stocks. They do not COMPOUND like a mutual fund. Time clearly eats away at their value regardless of market conditions. The 2009 results of FAZ and FAS show this. One needs a mathematician with a computer to models these based on given assumptions. All you can basically hope to do at this point is trade them vigorously on a weekly basis, if you must.
