- Returns on trades are based on my own positions, not the underlying market prices, unless otherwise noted. Returns from closed trades include trading fees. My own return may differ from the return of the underlying index, security or commodity because of variations in how the security I use tracks the market. In some cases, my return is based on a leveraged fund and may also include currency exchange into Canadian dollars.

Hi Steveo,

I don't like to refer to individual securities generally. DVTechTalk.com has a good regularly updated list of ETFs out there, including those with leverage.

Regards,
Alex
