Being able to say that an ultra short index on a group of stocks known for outperforming the market historically is going to underperform the market in 5+ years is kind of cheating isn't it?

The leverage in these along with rebalancing and management costs, plus the long-term upward trend in markets makes them poor performers over the long term. Easy red thumb points.

don't buy any ultrashort. they have sky high expense ratios and are guaranteed to lose whether the market moves up, fluctuates, or even move down while fluctuating. Ultrashort etfs are okay if you are a day trader, but they will definitely lose over the long term.

Ultra-shorts and Ultra-pros are all bad investments due to daily rebalancing

I recently ran into this article on an Ultra oil ETF strategy:
http://www.howtowriteoptions.com/ultra-covered-call-strategy-fails
By shorting each side of the Long/Short ETFs I will eventually come up on the positive end. Not sure how effective this will be in real life but long term on CAPs combo-ing these ETF is a sure winner.
I think all of these Ultras are going to crash hard. I have received several warnings from my broker on the risk of these funds and some of my friend’s brokers will not even execute transactions on these.

Bad news has battered the market and it is time for a rally. I recommend shorting this etf. Over the long term the expenses of this etf alone will eat away at gains. A combination of this and the fact that at some point the market will move higher will result in this etf under-performing dramatically.
