Sorry to barge in...

There's another reason not to use Artkos: I believe (80% sure) that Artkos is not a dynamic fund, and Rydex will not allow you to switch to a dynamic fund (such as RYVNX) without spending a day in cash. You can only switch immediately from a dynamic fund to another. (Or to Cash, of course)

When I wanted to be invested 100% I used to put half of the money in a 200% fund and the other half in cash.

All this applies only if you have an account directly with Rydex. If you are using a broker to trade Rydex funds then other (and some quite strange) rules may apply.

(When I was in ETrade Cash was not an option, so to be invested 100% I would be invested 66% in a 200% fund, and 33% in the opposite fund. Quite annoying...)

Hope this helps.

IN EDIT: I see that Odiemutt already pointed out this peculiarity to you...
