Ahhhh . . . Someone else discovers why you don't “invest” in leveraged funds. They are for “trading”. Rich, this issue has been covered many times and in many places. You can start with this link:

Then for more info, just enter the word “leveraged” in the “Search Site” box above.

I find it interesting that the SLV was at $10.50 area on Jan 1, 2009 and at $13.18 today
or a retrun of $270 or about + 25% return and AGQ was at $31.00 on Jan 1 ,2009 and is at $39.81 area today or a $838 dollar profit or about + 27% return.

The factors here are that SLV represts the bullion cost per oz. while the AGZ is a double leveraged ETF and should have return 2 times the SLV shares..But it appears that is didn't do it! WHY??? can anyone tell me?
