Hey verycareful...good to see you here. I am for sure a 401K MF'er (so to speak) and I think NQ as well. While I am generally familiar with the ProFunds family, I am not sure that I can access those 'short' funds in my 401K account. I will certainly check that out as it could be a very lucrative tool. As for precious metals, I have been bottom picking for a long time now and trying to catch it right. While I think we are closer to a bottom than a top I don't think we are at the bottom either. I have to check out the two you mentioned as they have a different chart than many I have looked at. Thanks for the ideas.
vc...are the Profund PM funds you mentioned (PMPSX) leveraged somehow? They seem to move 2x the typical gold fund or PM etf. I haven't had a chance to Morningstar them yet.
