DRYS long.

It is heavily shorted. If the market shoots up, there could be a nice short squeeze.

Yeh, like I said in another post somewhere in the forum, the 3 X ETF's are kind of weird. Both FAZ and FAS are down from their inception back in November, how can that be? As it worked out, my second choice to short FAS because FAZ long had already been taken, ended up to my advantage this week. Better luck than sense.

Shouldn't they both have gone up, cuz of inflation?

Hi Thierry. Per the contest rules the price paid should be the price at open on Monday. I noticed in the chart above the price paid is Friday's close. Have the rules changed or is this a simple error that can be corrected? Thanks.

Picking these 3x ETFs seems unfair in the weekly challenges with the swings they're making haha. =/

I'll refrain from picking them from now on! (SOLF is making one heckuva run, damn I missed it)

All's fair in love and war!!

They can go against you, as easily as for you, keep picking them if you see fit.
