Playing XIV is like chasing an adrenaline rush in the movie Point Break While TVIX
is like being neurotic.

TVIX is always cheaper to short for me.
I'm going for it. I am testing my pre-market strategy at 36.
If it collapses, i will hold it knowing that within a year i will get my 50-100%.
Or may chicken out altogether.
Would you ever consider a buy n hold short on uvxy?
A bit confusing to me but let say you had 100g in your account & shorted
20g. You would make 10g in 5 months. Rinse & repeat. How much would you need in your account to protect
you & would the stress be too much. Seems way too ez for some side $$.

Jumped into a small NTAP position at 37.09 a few minutes ago - we'll see how it plays out. Nothing stat-driven here except JP's track record on calls like this.
+++++++++
Out at 37.50. Could have exited with more profit the day I entered, but I'll accept a small gain and move on.

Jumped into a few beaten down stocks at the open yesterday - CA, DG, IP and NWL. Sold NWL and CA at about 2% gains each this afternoon. DG was a 1.3% gain, while IP was a 0.8% loss. This added about 1% to my total trading equity with minimal risk.
Sitting in cash waiting for another edge. I am eyeing NFLX as a possible play for tomorrow if it goes below 418. We'll see how things evolve.
