I think the reason there are not ultra ETFs for currencies is due to liquidity, there isn't a huge market for the standard long and shorts. options on currency, sounds dangerous to me :twisted: .

Letter X (US Steel) had it's best quarter when the dollar was the weakest, but sometimes it is just investor panic i guess. One thing I'd like to point on on currency as well is the Brazilian Real and some ETFs through Wisdom Tree. It looks like they are slowly introducing a bit more, but they are limited in options to the FX? currencies as denoted above. http://finance.google.com/finance?q=bzf there is also the US Dollar: http://finance.google.com/finance?q=uup&hl=en *note* UDN is the reverse and also a 2x US dollar fund: http://finance.google.com/finance?q=MUTF:RYSBX per Rydex on above, but watch out for the caution: ETFs typically have lower management fees than mutual funds alongside better liquidity. nice post, i like looking at these too see currency movements if you are bored as well.
