Rydex vs Profunds 2b funds I just checked the expenses. Rydex seems to be 1.19% ProFunds range from about 1.33 up depending on the fund. Their 2beta long Naz 100 fund was about 2.45% if I recall correctly. I keep looking for possible reasons to prefer Rydex since finding out USPIX didn't track that well. I seem to be finding plenty. I also thought I saw that USPIX may have paid out big distributions on their short funds for some reason. Marc

re:short term trade and NASDAQ inflection. When Bob called his NASDAQ bear rally trade opportunity the best way to play it was to have listened closely to his table setting parameters in the weeks prior. The Monday after he announced it was officially on, the NASDAQ exploded as we know. Most of it was him being correct of course and maybe a small part was his listeners at least at the Monday open. Since then, we had this apparent Cramer comment about everybody listening to Brinker when he makes his next call or something roughly to that effect. I had no real concern about Bob AFFECTING the market until Cramer got into the act with his rather loud mouth reaching a far greater audience than Bob's most religious listeners who don't miss a word of the show. Now though Bob seems to be indicating he is going to be announcing the end of the bear rally trade on the radio. It sounds like he may make a proclamation rather than talking about subtle technical factors which could give sophisticated listeners a heads up. I personally would prefer he gives the conditions in advance rather than just come on one weekend and say sell. That type of sell may cause a very weak opening the day after as all Brinker listeners and perhaps Cramer reports, lead everyone out a small door at the same appointed hour on a Monday opening Marc
