S&P around support of 1230, could mean bounce.

Short covering creating a false breakout today on 10/14/11. Very similar to what happened on 7/7/11 when one of the largest S&P derivatives market makers was forced to liquidate.

This kind of triple ETF will always underperform over the long run due to the way it is constructed. Note: I am not saying you cannot make any money holding this ETF, just that over a prolonged time it will lose money. Just to prove, I closed 5 of them today, together with their 5 inverses, all at a positive score!

Wow....
this one when picked time right can either make you or break you.......
Lordz is looking for the bump
While its cool to see doom and gloom
I see an opportunity
to catch a ride
on the road to cyclical recovery....................................................
The leverage is a killer but when you pick this right
you make a lot...
but you also risk a lot..
when you are wrong...

When you look at the internal costs and statistics of these leveraged instruments, they must all underperform the market over time. If I could, I would short them in real life.

I expect we'll see the S&P below 1100 soon.

Selling it Sept 5th, but okay until then due to seasonal factors and good technical strength.

3x leverage will cause it to underperform long term due to the leverage trap and associated expenses.

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!

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.

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.
