In our last post we looked at non-leveraged ETFs, and below we highlight the best and worst performing leveraged ETFs so far in 2009. Even though the market is trading close to flat year to date, only 27 of the 110 leveraged ETFs that we track are up for the year.

The second best performing double short ETF is the Japanese Yen (YCS).  click chart below to enlarge
