Leveraged ETFs for 2010

Here are the top oversold and overbought ETFs for 2010 for all these timeframes.

We track all leveraged ETFs on the market here. We computed the daily, weekly, and monthly RSI values of all leveraged ETFs in the U.S stock market. We then sorted them based on three timeframes, short term (days), medium term (weeks), and long term (months).

Since leveraged ETFs are very dangerous and have caused 'buy and hold' investors hundreds of billions of dollars in losses, they are not really indicated for medium and long time frames, they really should only be used in the short term. The lists below can help you get a good indication of what is overbought and oversold, i.e, what to buy and what to sell.

The lists show the ETF symbol, ETF name, last price, and RSI7 daily, weekly, and monthly values.

These are the 2009 returns, all ETFs in one huge chart (please click to enlarge):
