Show-me Account Talk

Those 3 X funds (and 2 X to a lesser degree) can be tough on you if you hold them for a while because of the way they are calculated each day.

I agree, and in reality I don't think I'd use them heavily unless we were in some very obvious major market change, i.e. long term bull to bear, and that's pretty hard to judge. Reason is, I've observed that it is really hard to get out of those in time when they start to change direction. When they go from up to down, they do it lightning fast.

I'll probably stick to my plan to ride my current ETF holdings into April-May, then start DCAing into individual stocks.

Thanks for the chart, Tom.

ps - Show-Me, you can have your thread back now.

I'm one who held on to TZA way too long....

Love to bike,
It's OK bike. You were leading the charge a few months ago. I think it'll start losing some steam tomorrow anyway. (seasonality chart) April looks like a good month to be in stocks.

Jumped in on Friday to try for a Monday buy back. Historically Mondays bounce back after a Friday sell off. If not then historically all hell breaks loose.

Rut-Roh!

I left some in reserve and will buy today.

 

[WorkFE]

Could end up being a bad buying day.

 

[Birchtree]

In a bull market every day is a good day to buy.

 

[Show-me]

I did not get it done, work got in the way again.
