I believe these leveraged inverse ETFs are meant to 2X (or 3X as the case may be) the daily return not 2X the annual return. You noted that, but missed that that is the key. Mathwise, it won't add up to even close to 2X the annual because it isn't based on the annual. Based on the daily makes it a whole 'nother ballgame.

Anyway, that's my understanding.
