QID,SDS, What's next

[runningman]

So the new ETFs like QID and SDS give 2x exposure to the inverse of the NAZ and SP500. Does anyone see a product giving 4x, 8x, 16x etc. exposure? What would the limit be? I'm sure there would be demand for such a product, but will one come out? ETFs are getting so specialized- I wonder where this can go.

Who knows where its heading but I do know Proshares is working on an additional 66 ETFs due out sometime in 2007 that should target many different sectors in the market place.


There is a demand for these inverse funds. I think it will increase steadily overtime.

As for 4x, 8x or 16x anything is possible.
