    A Hedge Fund favorite because it has one of the highest correlations to S&P index with a multiple! It's like having leverage without using derivatives or margin! It generally works well for short and long strategies. I bet that some funds just went bankrupt while other made their nut for the year.
    The algo bots are going to be a tad bit confused today.
