Jim - have a read through my message

http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=35635926

and the linked calculator.

I'd suggest minimising usage of 2X/3X holdings as much as possible. There are substantial costs involved with those types of funds that can drag their actual performance down substantially below expected levels.

They're fine for periodic dipping into at the more extreme edges of price cycles, but ideally should only be held for relatively short periods of time.

When you factor in their possible inclusion however, as I have done in the above link, then the additional amounts involved can help uplift the potential price volatility capture benefits.

Best. Clive.
