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.

Whoever came up with this idea should be forced to put all his money in this. Utilities are very slow moving, especially to the downside. Shorting the aggregate makes about as much sense as a Dan Quayle speech.

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

Testing a theory here with this account, shorting all short ProShares for starters.

Generally speaking, utilities are over-valued on a relative basis versus the broader equity universe. This is a rotation play as investors seek higher returns in relatively undervalued equities with a potentially superior risk return profile. Although debate may reign with regards to the efficiency of markets, it seems reasonable that investors as a whole will seek to put capital allocated for equities into those segments with lower intrinsic values. Utilities have been a "safe" harbor during the recent economic storm, but soon investors may leave the safe harbor for other destinations.

After 50% plus declines in most markets, could there be a worse time to go double short on any index.
