ERX has the same holding info as XLE but they also use treasury swap to achieve the financial wizardry of 3x leverage.
They (the company Direxion) claims ERX will try to mimic the percentage move of Oil services sector (XLE) in 3 times percentage (either direction) for a single day. It reset itself the next day. It isn't 100% but close to it. Go ahead and track it for a couple of days and see if is true or not. Needs to be careful here if you want to play this. The volume is low because it doesn't matter how many buyers or sellers, the machine simply creates these ETF on the fly and daily rebalance at the end of the day. There aren't a limited supply or demand..on these instruments.
Also, the options for this leverage vehicle are quite juicy...
and the margin requirement for ERX is kinda high too.. so check with your broker. They may not allow you to short it but you can use ERY (the bear side of ERX) instead.
