    Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that every time Ken posts "Go Bears" the market turns.

    It must be nice to have a super power!! :):)

    TZA LABD two good recent gainers today, SQQQ uptrending though UVXY dropped a bit.

    I know overall markets have gone up as I've tried to bottomfish inverses since spring, since they did well in Feb and March.. I think of them as long-odds instruments with huge payoff potential.... eg see 1 year charts for any of them. Catching the spikes and selling as they reverse is key, like when I sold TVIX at 940.

    It'll be interesting to see if current elections cause a drop.

    Great! I like SPXS SRTY bc they're cheap with great upside/ risk:reward. TZA LABD inverse leaders, puzzled why UVXY weak laggard
