    Buying options at this VIX level is STUPID. Do people realize that!!!
    Its better to do covered calls now since the stocks are way down and calls are way overpriced.
    Look at GOOG for that.

    He's not advocating puts, he's advocating cashing out the puts into the downturn. Do you even read these articles before you attack? Reply

    If we keep telling people the sky is falling and the end of the world is coming, they will begin to beleive it. We don't need anymore losers like Philip Davis. The time to buy is when the market is down if you beleive this country of ours will survive.

    Double Short ProShares ETFs [view article]
    I figured it out myself. DXD issued a 6% dividend. I take back my insinuations that the DXD ETF is less than credible. Reply

    ProShares UltraShort and UltraLong ETFs [view article]
    UYG what am I not getting here? It says it tracks the DJUSFN index, with 2x the return. DJUSFN is up 6.07% today. So UYG should be up 12.14%. However as we speak UYG is up a measly 2.2%. Reply

    Double Short ProShares ETFs [view article]
    Does anyone know why the ProShares DXD UltraShort ETF dropped 6.14% overnight from Sep 23rd to Sep 24th? The Dow Jones Industrial Average only moved up 0.20%, so the the DXD should have only dropped about 0.40% (twice the inverse). I could understand if the DXD occasionally lost a half of a percent with respect to its base index, but 6% in one night ????? Did ProShares take 6 years worth of fees that night? It certainly reduces the feasibility of achieving any gains from this ETF. Reply

    Dr. Divergence:

    This is uncharted territory. Closest example may be the INP exhange traded note from Barclays that stopped issuing creation units when India temporarily stopped certain foreign investments. That went way out of wack.

    In this case the instruments used to fund the inverse fund are most likely of definite term, except for their actual stock shorts. The derivatives will expire and the fund will become less short. Until the next report, we won't know how many if any actual stock shorts they have.

    Absent actual stock shorts the fund assets will be in run-off and would eventually be all cash or government debt instruments. In a rational world, the price would approach the NAV in that case.

    The expectations for future actions by Congress would probably be key, but I have no idea what those actions would be or how the market would respond.

    Today when the bailout vote failed the SPY was off nearly 7%.

    SKF is up 18+% as of the moment with nearly 16 million volume. XLF is down 11+% with 52 million volume, so the 2x leverage is approximately working for the moment.     Reply

    Point taken, Richard. Good article. Do you have any views about the tracking error issue in SKF et al now that they are unable to issue new creation units due to the short ban? Reply

    I said it "exposes" short investor to interest. That is meant to convey that interest "could" be a factor if the trade goes against the investor to create a margin call.

    The point is correct about the "potential" for interest cost, which is not a potential cost with a non-margined long position in an inverse fund.     Reply
