  • 12 New Leveraged Commodity and Currency ETFs [View article]
    Watch out for these leveraged ETFs. ProShares' existing ones (DDM, DXD, .... SKF, SRS, etc) do not do what they are supposed to, match double the (inverse of) their indexes, even on a day basis. Over not very long a time, both halves of their ultra/ultrashort pairs (e.g., UYG/SKF) will tend to underperform their goals, sometimes to the point that BOTH are negative in as little as a few days. Run some comparison charts and you'll see what's happening. These are dangerous vehicles, suitable for only very short-term trading/gambling.
