Q: I allocate ~5% of my portfolio to speculative holdings. I consider APH, a marijuana stock, to fall under this category and currently hold this. I'm looking to add PHO to this category, as it sounds like a riskier growth stock. In your opinion, would adding a 2% allocation be sensible or would you advocate purchasing more of a full position to reap the full rewards? Would you ever advocate buying 2% positions?

Q: Hello Peter and Ryan,
Is HXU designed to always give you plus or minus 200% of what XIU returns whether? I compared previous prices, and it seems to go that way. Given the structure of the ETF, can this change or I can assume it will be plus or minus 200 of the corresponding index? I am also looking at HGU the bull gold case versus XGD and similarly DIA versus DDM. I was looking at a trade idea if the market falls, simply buy the bull ETF so that when market picks up, i can get a higher return. Can you advise how they companies can do double the return (what financial instruments do they use). Thank you.
