I have had nugt and dust on my radar just watching and learning and noticed big swings on both. Is there a time limit to cash out? Seems like if you hold long enough you can make some good money. I know it's not that easy. Just a rookie asking questions. Dust is a lot cheaper but has as big a percentage gain per day as nugt. I would think dust would be the better play with less invested. Thanks folks
Hey Guchi,
NUGT is a 3x ETF. DUST in an inverse 3x ETF. They both track GDX and generally, in the shorter term, move 3 times the percentage of GDX.
If GDX is up 3%, NUGT will be up 9%, and DUST will be down 9%, approx. The absolute price values 'don't' matter as much. It's about the percentages. Actually, NUGT/DUST just split today.

I can't say when to 'cash out.' I leave the trading decisions to my algo:
