Hi Toof, A 2x leveraged fund like SMHB would definitely not qualify in the "cash" category. The ETFs that I use have a lower dividend and are more stable: BOE, EAD, PFF, JNK and HYZD. Of these I think only HYZD took a small hit in March and never recovered. They earn a modest dividend of around 5%.
