O&G are probably going up, and this is a short ETF, so it will go down over the long run. So in other than a major market correction, this is pretty much a safe pick.
I totally agree that O&G's should go up in the long run but this strategy seems unpredictable based on what m/s says in "Warning: Leveraged and Inverse ETFs Kill Portfolios", especially when they talk abouty DIG & DUG's 2008 returns. This is probably a CAPS only strategy, but am I somehow missing the point?
