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.

Commodity rally has a long way to go. Demand for oil, gold, copper, silver by former 3rd world countries will drive prices up.

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

This market is way overbought and it is time for a much needed correction. S&P P/E is at all time highs and needs about a 20% correction. In closing, I like beer.

Latest mini-bubble from rebound should deflate once again to test or surpass prior lows.

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

Very unclear on what they actually do, they invest 80% of their assets... what are they producing? Sounds more like a company paying a few people to re invest assets, rahter than harvest materials.
