I am sure that most of you are aware of the new Proshares. For those who aren't here is a link to their ETF products page.

It would seem that these are really useful products for those who do not want to invest in individual stocks. These Ultra and Ultra-Short products should provide the volatility necessary to obtain more frequent transactions than one would get with normal index funds.

I recently set up some LD-AIM account positions in two of their ultra-short ETFs.....SDS and MZZ. I did this as a hedge against a portion of my long positions.

One thing I have noticed is that a lot of these ETFs do not yet get much trading on a daily basis. This current lack of liquidity gives me pause on purchasing them at this time. That could change in the future as these products become more popular with the investing public.

Best regards,
