I was very tempted to go with USO and SPY instead of both of those LETFs, but since there's no money on the line I opted for the riskier picks. I expect a lot of sideways movement in 2010 with at least one decent correction, maybe two thrown in. If I'm right I picked poorly. As I said at the beginning though, in real life I wouldn't buy these yet. I didn't take this as confrontational - constructive comments are always welcome.

But don't you think it's risky to hold two LETFs since they yield *just* the daily 2x return? I know LETFs work well in an uptrend, but if the market goes sideways, the ups and downs of daily compounding returns could work against the owner. Please note that I'm not being confrontational, just curious. I like the picks… especially the UUP.
