    The 2x inverse gold miner etf?  Thoughts on buying and holding that etf?  Liquidity?

    I was about to ask the same thing.

    Daily DUST volume of 46,000 shares seems really,really low. Hourly is 8,000 shares. Might make it tough (painful) to get out if GDX breaks up. I am trading a 401(k) brokerage account and can't short. Any other inverse tools (preferably not leveraged) that one can use to short GDX? I looked at SPPIX but it is a fund and only trades on the close.

     

     

    You know something I don't? Haven't heard about GDX breaking up. I have a couple of DUST positions and thinking I'll stick to GDX in the future because of the much better volume...

    sorry for not being clear...

    the "break up" I was referring to was a break up through the rising wedge pattern noted in the 60-min chart. I did not mean to suggest that GDX was dissolving as an ETF.

    DUST has very low volume and my concern was that if GDX broke up through the triangle, there might be a rush to get out which means it would be tough to get a good execution (price) on the sell order.

    Sorry if there was confusion by my post.

    Thanks...
