Ultra Financials ProShares (AMEX:UYG)

Will lose tracking accuracy if held more than 1 day, so definitely will underperform in the long run. No brainer.

herp derp rally

Outperform

Can't go much lower

Financial stocks only have one way to go, up!

Double the upside...and downside. But, as long as the macro conditions indicate an expanding economy you can ride this out. Don't let the big moves scare you. Day traders dream, but you can play the direction long term. I'm up 300% from my initial March 2009 purchase.

Housing will continue to be in a slump and government at all levels and all around the globe will be struggling to pay off debt. Any "growth" will probably be due to printing money to fight deflation. It will not be real growth. Consumers will continue to protect themselves by controlling their spending. All this adds up to a lower stock market. As a long Ultra-fund I expect this will suffer twice the decline of the overall market.

An awful product for an awful sector.
doomed to go to zero within 5 years.

I really wished I could short that one in the real world.

Pure Gold - Love these ultra shares - 3x both ways takes some guts

Who doesn't want a piece of the U.S. financial industry at these prices. This ETF isn't at the bargain basement prices it was in March of 09, but historically speaking, this is still very cheap for good exposure to most of the United States biggest and most widely known financial institutions. The only caution with this ETF is again that it is a leveraged ETF, so watch the Volatility index carefully.

I have been buying UYG for the last year. I believe that this ETF has a real upside in the long term.

financials must come back before anything else does.

A low cost fin. ETF. Plus, financials usually lead the market up ... and they have a way to go!

for the most part the financial sector has contracted and therefore only the ones that made sound decisions will be left standing. so, why not profit from it? this is a good way to do that.

Nowhere to go but up. Without the financials we have no economy and if we have no economy do any of us care what I write here?

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

This ETF has heavy shares of all the Financial stocks who hit the bricks (in late '08) yet survived and as they improve, so will this fund

When the overly optimistic FOMC says that household spending will be "constrained" by sluggish income growth, ongoing job losses, lower household wealth, and tight credit AND Shanghai stocks hit a seven-week low, then you know this bear market rally is finally over!
