Dumb math question:

IF SSG is supposed to be 2x inverse of $DJUSSC intraday
and USD is supposed to be 2x of $DJUSSC intraday

then WHY THE FORK does this chart look like this? shouldn't it look like "1" almost all the time? A flat line?

This is true of all the other 2x funds, too.... the ratio charts are all out of whack.

I THINK part of the answer is "the dividend/capital gain, stupid" but these charts are adjusted for that.........

maybe I am just missing the point -- SSG and USD are on par with another with a ratio of "1" -- which is where they were when they started trading....QLD was more than 3x the price of QID for a while. Maybe that's all these charts say.
