Matt and Steve, with this early action and the financials
looking so weak, are you throwing out scenario #1 and just thinking
we go to test SP740 now? Sure daily stochs are on buy signals but
weeklies nowhere near a buy and put -call shows
complacency.
Seems like a long term paired short would be profitable if you
can stomach the short term gyrations. Look at how a paired
short on DIG and DUG would have done last year.
Somebody posted these numbers awhile back;
Agreed! A LONG-TERM pairs short of ultra ETFs seems like a
sure thing. Any reason not to do this? Furthermore, there are some
people lobbying to ban the ultra ETFs, which could benefit both
sides of this trade for an added windfall. This looks like a
no-brainer.
