BetaPro Canadian Gold Miners -2x Daily Bear ETF T.HGD

Alternate Symbol(s):  HZRZF

HGD seeks daily investment results, before fees, expenses, distributions, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, that endeavour to correspond to two times (200%) the inverse (opposite) of the daily performance of the Solactive Canadian Gold Miners Index. If HGD is successful in meeting its investment objective, its net asset value should gain approximately twice as much on a given day, on a percentage basis, as any decrease in the Solactive Canadian Gold Miners Index when this Underlying Index declines on that given day. Conversely, HGDs net asset value should lose approximately twice as much on a given day, on a percentage basis, as any increase in the Solactive Canadian Gold Miners Index when this Underlying Index rises on that given day. In order to achieve this objective, the total underlying notional value of these instruments and/or securities will typically not exceed two times the total assets of the ETF. As such, HGD employs leverage.

RE: RE: Did you guys use todays rally to sell?"70% of demand is jewelery, and right now people don't have much money to buy them."

You're kidding right???  All of the projections from the piles of Gold analysts out there have nothing to do with demand for jewelery and everything to do with protecting your 'paper money' by moving it into a hard asset.  Wait until the US discloses that they will need to back their currency with Gold again.  Right now the US dollar is backed by nothing. Do you think that all the printing of this paper money is going to keep it afloat?

Not to say you can't make money on the short side - as long as you're short term trading... but I certainly wouldn't be buying HGD and holding it expecting Gold to drop back down to $700.... can it get there?  Of course it can... but nearing the end of this year and into 2010, GOLD MANIA may take hold of the public and we'll see similar action to what Oil has done in the past 2 weeks...
