for some good returns and diversification if there is another strong advance with the precious metal stocks. I will be using this fund along with some individual stock picks once I believe the time is right after this consolidation/correction.
Best.

Trade based on what you see happening, not what someone else thinks or hopes will happen.

Chili, thanks. My broker has some restrictrions on when I can buy/sell the Profunds (only Profunds). Rydex or Potomac no problems. A relative strength comparison shows USAGX slightly outperforming PMPIX. I believe the expense ratios are about the same as well.
Good luck with your position.

I have one IRA thru USAA and they only allow a total of 6 trades out of any fund per year. But that may not be the same for going thru a broker. But the USAA gold is one of the highest ranked funds by several agencies including "Fund X" newsletter, Bernadette Brown.

PMPIX here...if you time it right, it outperforms, save for whatever fund has the most hottest juniors. If you don't time it right the leverage brings you back to Earth.

But the LACK of fees on PMPIX is right...so it pays on that basis. But you ought to have a concept of what you are doing in any leveraged vehicle, or leave it alone.

USAGX is on my buy list once I think this correction in gold stocks is over. Nice to see I have company.
