    funny thing -- the correlation between the double long gold and GDX is in the 90's, but for the short its only like 86%.

    DZZ

    I sometimes use DZZ in my IRA, but I don't like to hold these leveraged funds long, maybe 2 weeks max.  Works best with a strong trend, of course.

    I much prefer trading the long side in my IRA with GDX.  The new mechanical system is ideal for this.

    It depends on the time

    It depends on the time frame you're looking at, but, if memory serves, DGZ usually correlates better to the inverse of GDX than DZZ.
