ProShares UltraShort Russell2000 Growth seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to twice (200%) the inverse (opposite) of the daily performance of the Russell 2000 Growth Index.

Russel 2000 currently trades at P/E of 40. This will not do well during a new slide in the bear market.

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.

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

We are most likely overbought but I don't see the kind of zealousness amongst investors that would suggest an imminent sell off. Thus, I'm long the market and short this security. In addition I do love being short ultra-etfs, why you ask, between theta and the daily re-balancing of the portfolios these securities ultimately are designed to move towards 0.

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

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.
