<Watch the fees and slippage on that ETF, they can erode returns.>

Yea, I don't like the "slippage" possibility... one reason I'm NOT buying the more leveraged BRO of this one. Still, it's a liquid market and slippage should be manageable... especially on the one way train I'm expecting. :)) We'll see.

<Aren't actually betting against any bad events (like Greece) driving people to the USD ?>

Has been of late.... pretty dumb reason IMHO. OTOH, I won't be surpised if this ETF sells off when the other shoe drops on this economy... that'll be the buying OPP of all times. Just nibbling now in case the next "thump" isn't as big as I'm thinking, and this thing does't see these levels again.

Can US supply Afghanistan war without Kyrgyzstan's Manas airfield?
The US military may retain access to Manas airfield – a key transit hub for the Afghanistan war – despite the turmoil in Kyrgyzstan. But given the weakness of other supply routes, the loss would deal a major blow.
