<<... what is your opinion re trading leveraged ndx funds like rydex or profunds (essentially similar to trading qqq long/short on full margin) as far as excessive risk is concerned.>>

the problem with these funds is you only buy/sell at the closing price ...

George I try to stay away from anything that smacks of a derivative... I still trade individual stocks and even shorts but have never dealt with Ndx or Ryder funds...Sorry.

it's been suggested that the slippage on leveraged funds approaches that of deep in the money options. that may be true but i have slugged it out far too many times with options specialists and they always win. option specialists are the biggest thieves in the pits.

if NDX is down 2% then RYVNX can be estimated to be +4%. that works for me.
