UVXY buy limits set for $27 and $25.*

Both the VIX and the UVXY price are near the recent lows. I will take the opening price, if it's below $27. (The after-hours high was $26.54).*

I just recently bought XIV for $43, and sold it Wednesday for $48.*

Over the past three and a half years, I have had times when things seem to be going pretty well for a while. The trick is to keep that going, and not fall into any of the "traps" that I seem to keep finding.*

I have enough money in my account that I can make consistent gains IF I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING, and then it would just keep increasing. But if I'm making mistakes, I'm not sure how having more money in the account would make it work better. I tend to believe that a bigger account size would make it easier to do well, but I don't have the track record to justify that belief.*

But at least for now, things have been going very well.*

Comparing UVXY and VIX highs and lows, 150906.*

These numbers go back to the last reverse-split in May. I will just present the numbers here, without commentary.*
