That was HBU rather than HGU, but rethinking it..... HGU and HEU attempt to track an index of stocks, but they are 2x ETFs. You can't get the 2x leverage without futures (or options).

OK, this is good. Let's get this straight, so everyone can be sure.

My understanding is that this is the common strategy for all BetaPro bull/bear leveraged ETFs.

HGU is not excluded.
