<<In summary, Rydex long funds are losing appeal faster than Rydex short funds.>>
Thats true.I tend to use only the dynamic short funds.For example if Im expecting a drop in the ndx I go with ryvnx. During the next trading day when I think the selling is over, I just buy the qqq and sell both positions end of day.Its an easy way to play the dips and hedge your gains.

Steve; thats a fair explaination of perceived events.

JT is the only one who could give you some truth about the relative constancy of RYDEX funds long or short over the time period where ETF's have been in place, that has no baring on anything I care about.

JT what say you about the Constancy of Capital post ETF?

Wondering why long EFT on margin are more efficient that the leveraged Rydex funds? I would have thought that I am getting 2X in either case and that the margin interest I'd pay on the EFT would be greater than the fund cost at Rydex.
