I mentioned these proshares a about 2 weeks ago. Now not all of them are trading millions of shares, however QID is on the top of most actively traded, doing close to 5 million shares a day. Proshares just announced that they now have $3 billion in Assets from these ETFs. These funds I think are the best ETFs out there in a long time. Powershares are great too.
S2, I have the same question as above - what is the fee load for these? I'm very confused about that, but very attracted to these Proshares. Was Ultradow the first? Are these leveraged ETFs, essentially? That's a good question.
Good list!!!!!! I trade SPY/SDS and DIA/DOG (hold them for less than an hour, whichever moves green). My question is who is losing the money holding SDS. QID, DOG, etc. for months since the inception....the underwriter??? I sound ignorant (maybe I'm), but don't know who to ask. mF
