I bought some TVIX at 145 about 2 weeks ago and cost averaged into UVXY for a $29.00 ...selling uvxy and will hold TVIX ...
Going the opposite today. Will look to buy HIBL DPST and go long an airline, maybe JETS ....Very very very very small positions and only because the markets are down 2-3% in the premarket.
That is very true but either its hard to short, not shortable or very expensive to borrow shares to short.
Serious question, why are your positions so tiny as to be literally meaningless? I mean TVIX could go to 1000 again and you'd have no real benefit.
I'm overly risk adverse, so I trade small. It's my biggest personal challenge. To me, being up 1k is a good day; at this point I should be 10x that.
