The Power of Technology

Technology has been nice to investors. However, looking for a little pull-back in the markets sometimes this week or early next week of about 3-4%. But, I could be wrong. The anxiety meter is high this week. Here are three technology funds that are comparable in return, size, holdings, etc.

However, one fund stands out from among the rest with a whopping 3 month return of 61.18%. Since the ProShares fund returns 2X the index, you really get a nice return on your money. However, there are many risks to consider when investing in these types of funds at this stage in the game.
