Thank you for blogging. Would you be willing to let us know which is that 200% leveraged ETF for Natural gas? I couldn't find any 2x ETF that was specific to Nat Gas.
Thanks once again.
Hi Alex, Your latest signal say to go bearish on gold sept 14 - would you be shorting the gold stocks or the bullion?
Thanks.

That's HNU in Toronto. (Or HND for the inverse fund.)

Hi Ken,
I am shorting bullion. The security should be as close as possible to the underlying market that the data is based on. Gold stocks and bullion often don't trade the same direction short-term.
Regards,
Alex
