-1x ETFs...degrade over time ?

    Posted by atlantis on 8th of Dec 2013 at 09:01 pm

    Hi everyone,

    2x and 3x Leverage ETFs have significant degradation over time. I was wondering, what about -1X ETFs such as SH (-1 SPY), RWM (-1 Russel). Would these be appropriate ETFs to trade or Swing Trade when the market eventually rolls over for a significant decline. If you have any more examples for Commodities and other markets, I would appreciate.

    Thanks !

    P.S. Happy Birthday Steve :)

    -1x ETFs also suffer degradation.

    All of these have fees associated with them, just like mutual funds, etc.,  Is that the source of the "degradation" that you are seeing?
