    That's really what the play is supposed to be with the ETF's especially since there are no transaction fees anymore...you can buy 100 shares at $4.30 and sell it at $4.50, make $20 and pay no fees..almost free money

    66% free money ;)

    Yeah I might rethink my strategy once NRGU recovers enough. We'll see. I also don't have enough in my account for day trading more than 4/week I think it is?

    So NRGD.....Inverse funds....What's the gameplan here? I get it from my end - it goes up when stuff goes down, BUT what's the point from the fund manager? What benefit does Bank of Montreal get for having an inverse fund?

    My guess is the bank gets the expense fee. The bank doesn't care if the shares go up or down, that is either pain or gain for the traders.

    Have you looked at VXX? Yeah, I set trailing stops on my VXX puts as well. Something's gotta give soon. I'm making sure my profits are secured.

    NAIL and VXX just triggered. I cancelled the stop loss on NRGU. WTI futures are up and the trend is also going up. I'll roll the dice for a few days on it.

    I need to see the headline, stocks rise on news trump campaign staff members test positive for coronavirus.

    Seems as reasonable as many reasons they give for market movement :rofl:

    saw another about home sales being at their lowest in quite some time. Usually that makes people lose their mind. :confused:

    The way I read that was that it was history. Homes that closed in April and May, meaning they went under contract at the peak of the flu.
    I went under contract selling a house at the end of May (supposed to close July 1st) and it was on the market less than 24 hours before we had a 5k over asking offer.

    New home starts gets released tomorrow. That is a much better indicator of construction spending. If they are over estimates NAIL will go up. If they are under it will go down. That's why I exited the position today.

    From what I understand it’s a inventory issue. Houses in the SF Bay Area seem to be moving.

    I sold 20% of NAIL today...
    The VXX puts are looking good...I have the JUL 17 $30...I paid $150, they're at $180 and start selling at $250 this far out...But I will reassess as the week progresses...I bought them on 6/12 when VXX was at $42..If it drops another $1.50 a day for the next few days that's $$$$

    I know options are more lucrative but is it possible to just play vxx as a security? If so I’ll just use that as a savings account until the market goes haywire :rofl::rofl::rofl: I’ll just store my savings in inverse funds and vxx what can go wrong. (Jokes aside I could be convinced to do some monopoly monies in them as a long term hold and wait for the payoff but the long term roi could be less than just investing in VTI or similar, for example).

    I’m making my prediction now for the next two weeks. Up or level with 2 or 3 down days, maybe back to back but not 3 in a row. Friday will be level ish. NEXT Friday (when is the 4th celebrated? Whatever the last day of trading before the holiday) will be a large sell then.

    if I’m wrong I’ll buy you each one share if HTX :thumbsup: I have some thoughts on July and later but still too early. let me have a few beers and then we’ll get into the real good predictions.

    I interpreted it as an inventory issue as well. I just find it funny that it was the first thing that popped up on some “financial” pages for certain networks. One article even had a “doomsday” style headline to accompany it (all the while the market was going up today)
