am not really comfortable with 2x Bear ETFs, on account of the day to day nature of these funds. 2x Bear ETF is not an investment vehicle that one could use to set up an AIM-like account and forget about it for a while. It requires very careful attention.

Are you holding any Bear ETFs right now?



I've been doing very small scale pairing of the FAZ/FAS pair of 3x financial funds and have been doing all right. Started with a minimal $1,000 in each and add when they drop, sell when they go back up, pure core position trading, nothing fancy at all about it. I've only ended up so far selling the added-on shares from the drops - nothing's cleared high enough yet to sell out from the initial purchase or close one or both out. Something I may do when I can since this was more of an experiment rather than something I really wanted to put a lot of money into.

Best,

AIMster
