Jim,

contango and backwardation on leveraged ETFs. I think that is valid on those that use futures as the underlying theme like HBU/HBD, HOU/HOD... Actually the point you brought up made me think 'yes' it should apply to any ETF using futures.. but experience tells me HGU follows the stocks.. not the metal..

The 2X leverage does not need to be gained by playing futures.. although it can be. They can be using options too I guess..
