Seems like a long term

    Leveraged ETF's

    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;

    Symbol 1/9/08 price 1/9/09 price    shares     cost     value today
    DIG     104.75          29.52           95              9951     2804    
    DUG     37.5            24.16           266             9975     6427    

    ETF Swing Trade

    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.
