Yeah man, etf's can really put u under.
I bought yesterday at 2.58(looked like bottom). I only bought 1k shrs, so I have $2,580 at risk. I can afford to lose that so I'll let it ride.
If it is a long way to the bottom from where I buy, I'll use stops.
If a RS should develope, I'll dump out.
I have no idea if a RS is in the cards, however, some of these etf's will do them(Direxion does alot). This is Credit Suisse.
Personally, I think we are near a bottom(That's why I bet).
Good Luck Bro.
PS My trading portfolio is a fairly small part of my overall portfolio, which includes emergency cash, cash, 2 DRIPS, 2 other income vehicles,etc.
