    These 3x ETF's suck for long-term holders, slippage is excessive. Great for daytraders but horrible for investors.

    Take a look at SRS, short commercial real estate, at the lows for the year. WTF!

  4. Much misinformation here

    first - direxion does employ 300% leverage, daily, on an index (that 2.5x is simply not true)

    Prospectus with list of 32 funds:
    http://www.direxionshares.com/pdfs/DRX_prospectus.pdf

    second - direxion filed for 32 ETFs, only 16 currently on the market, the funds listed on the previous page are Direxion mutual funds - not ETFs.

    Fund List:

    EDIT:

    these funds are not reccomended for long term investments... please read carefully:

  8. Exactly. bat1 - the large & small caps are very liquid, spreads are usually under $0.05 during open session. Sectors are less liquid - energy & financials see decent spreads too though.

    The last set of sectors that were launched are stsill picking up steam - spreads are brutal... but there are lots of opportunities if you are willing to carry some overnight risk.

    bat1 - what is enough volume/liquidity for you?
