Cycle Trading

[Duma]

My gut told me that shorting a 3x fund was not as good as holding long the 3x fund. The data for the last IWM down cycle does not support my feelings. I learned something here.

However, you need to check as see how much your broker is charging for shorting. With interest rates up, brokers are getting pretty aggressive. But could still be a good deal.
