## Resource

Want to invest in the financial sector? Choose between State Street’s XLF — a low-cost, steady ETF tracking top financial giants — or ProShares’ UYG, a high-risk, high-reward leveraged play that doubles daily sector moves. XLF costs just 0.08%, while UYG’s 0.94% fee reflects its wild volatility and higher dividend yield. Though UYG’s beta suggests more upside, its daily leverage resets cause “volatility decay,” making it risky for long-term investors. Stick with XLF for reliable, long-term growth — UYG’s for short-term traders who know what they’re doing. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
