AUGUST ALERT: Many brokerage firms as Merrill, Morgan-Stanley and Wachovia have recently clamped down on ALL the "leveraged and inverted" ETFs. Most firms are NOT allowing any new purchases of same and now they are not marginable either. This comes on the heels of FINA regulations.

2/7/07: Waiting on ProShares and "others" to introduce new "inverted" ETF's (Exchange Traded Funds) in Industry Groups and other Index Groups. So far we have:
ALL BELOW are 2:1 Leveraged....
QID------- Inverse NASDAQ 100 Index
SDS-------Inverse S&P 500 Index
DXD------Inverse Dow Jones Industrials
MZZ------Inverse S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index
Before these ETFs, I have been using RYDEX Dynamic Funds (inverted S&P 500) RYTPX which is approximately 1.5:1 leveraged and is a Mutual Fund and NOT traded like above ETFs.
