Had emergency meetings, emergency presentations, and top executives to pitch to all day. Helluvaday. Just now getting a chance to post.
Obviously DUST was a bust. I would have bailed early this morning at the first sign of weakness, but don't want to sound like I'm Monday morning quarterbacking, so to be fair, consider DUST sold at the close at 16.94, a loss of -17.2% on this trade. Ugh.
I had time to make one trade this morning, and that was to buy a chunk of GDXJ at 44.94. Again, it was not perfect timing, but it looks like miners may be making another move higher after a consolidation phase, so I'm climbing on board.
NUGT/DUST is hard enough to trade if you have the time all day to watch it. Since I don't, I'm going to put the system on temporary hiatus, and concentrate on the stock market TNA/TZA system instead.
TZA remains a hold, and had a fabulous day, gaining +3.52%. I'm also holding SQQQ, which gained +4.30% today, so my portfolio is doing just fine, thank you. Also, as MaStA stated, SGMS rode a rocket today on massive volume, and ended the day up over 16%. Yowza. Where's my rake? I'm gonna need it.
Still think the market momentum is to the downside for a while longer. I'll wait for the Stoch (and maybe PPO) to bottom and turn back up before heading back into stocks in the TSP. Until then, I'll hang on to SQQQ and TZA, and make some money on the downside.
Good luck!
