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

Ultra funds suck in the long term to begin with. Couple that with general outperform on hard assets over the next couple of years....

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.

MAterials are being slaughtered. Way down. Probably it will continue, and I will loose dozen of Caps points.

But at the end of day, somebody will find out, that producers have stop production, that their balances are full of cash, that downturn has been already priced in their share prices etc.

It is going to cost me a lot of points, but at the end of game ...
