They're still better than 1x...

02/26/2010 DGP @ $27.28
RTQ right now: $48.4368 which is a gain of 77.23%

Gold was about 1100 that day. 77% higher is $1947. Gold is now about $1530.

Conclusion: It performs much closer to 2x than 1x over time.

Risk: It is a paper holding and probably subject ot the first rounds of scrutiny of the admin's bias against gold. Further, I am unclear on how the new talk about limiting paper gold trading impacts their strategy to maintain a 2x gold exposure.
