We've already hit the multi-year market top. Enjoy the ride down, just make sure you get off before the dollar gets destroyed.

Shorting should be a great idea until we lose 40 or 50 percent but once the government reacts, deflation ceases, and we're looking at the collapse of a currency... then it's time to get out of the market and back into precious metals, foreign currencies, and commodities.

For now though: enjoy the ride down!

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

We are due for a correction on the S&P to 970 levels...

We're coming out of one of the worst ever financial meltdowns, I don't feel this rally has much more to go volume in the markets has been relatively low I expect a technical correction around the corner...

I looked into what the performance of this leveraged fund would have been if it began in 1950, and using a triple daily return and assuming it started at 16 like the S&P, today it would be selling at $43,000 although it reached a high of over $600,000 in the early 2000s. It seems to me that negative effects that volatility has on leverage, it does not matter in the long term due to the magnitude of the gains of the S&P. Anyone else agree? Seem to be alone on this one.

Because Ultra's Suck =) Haha....

Actually because the market trades rationally more often than irrationally and clearly the market cannot continue to move higher without an eventual correction. At worst here we'll see sideways trading and that alone contributes to the decay factor of these 3X proshares etf's. Sometime very soon we'll see that correction otherwise you'll see my portfolio continuing to be littered with down thumbs.

Called the top on 8/11 (a day late, I think) with all my green and red thumbs. Of all funds, I believe the UPRO/SPXU pair will be the top performers when we reach bottom.

Volatility kills leverage.

UPRO has a too high valuation compared to the weakness of the S&P 500 Index with a too high P/E of 14.1. As this position uses a double leverage, it could be closed within one week.
