but are the bar graphs under #2 (Leveraged ETFs can only be understood by sophisticated investors) showing ETF assets/ total exposure correct? Seems like the first (starting point) should be 100 million assets/300 million exposure, the second 97 million assets/291 million exposure, and the third ~94.1 million/282.3 million given the 1% x 3 loss each day?(100 million > 97 million > 94.1 million)?

may be I am one of those idiots that shouldn't be investing in these?]]> Wed, 05 Aug 2009 12:58:59 -0400

Admittedly, I really don't know that much about FAZ and SDS and appreciate the info here. I would appreciate more info about how these are managed behind the scenes - like what are the underlying investments and how are they traded?]]> Fri, 26 Jun 2009 13:38:08 -0400 UNTD).

I am long SMSI - I got in along time ago at 0.75-1.50/share and it has been a wild ride. I have to say that Bill Smith has a long-term outlook. he has done a lot to transform SMSI into a major player in the wireless arena - if he needs options to help retain good employees, perhaps we should believe him - I don't think SMSI hires anyone they consider as "dross".]]> Fri, 05 Jun 2009 15:39:46 -0400

See the Motley fool article by Bill Mann "Is Buffett talking up his own Book"

You like others, are just trying to get attention. BTW - Who are you? probably not a billionaire!

Also take a look at the S&P 500 graph from 1950 to present - now is the time to buy for long-term investors. In 10 years the fear and the low stock prices will be gone.]]> Mon, 27 Oct 2008 12:46:41 -0400
