Russia has $110 billion in foreign debt coming due this year. The ruble's falling value will make it harder for Russia to meet those payments. If their debt gets downgraded then the currency will probably fall even further.

SDS distributed 6% of NAV as capital gains, while SSO distributed 0.45% of NAV. This would account for the wide discrepancy in their daily return on that day.
Also, SDS is currently trading at a premium of 7.27% and SSO is trading at a discount of 6.74%. You need to take this into account when comparing their daily returns.

Most of the ideas that you listed were on my list at the beginning of 2008, but I had the luxury of changing my mind. It's hard enough to figure out what assets prices will do in the short-term, but to have to predict what they'll do between January 1 and December 31 is even harder.
