the reason I said that is I am trying a new system on trading overnight gaps. I thought for sure last night JDST would open down so I paper traded a short. XIV behaved like I thought it would. I just couldnt figure out why JDST didnt behave the way I thought. Until it busted up.

Today's Tip.
Last bear market, other than being completely out of the market, only one play worked.
From Jan 2008 to March 2009 everything failed, even bonds failed. The only ETF play that would
have made money would have been shorting Xiv. So if you have the guts to stay short for 2 years, that's the play, otherwise stay out.

You also would have made money being long SDS or (even better) long DTO (which went from 22 at it's inception date in July 2008 to over 250 by February 2009). In retrospect that should have been an easy one to see coming, when oil was at $147/barrel and the stock market was down 20+% from its 2007 high.

Don't think inverse longs work well in bear markets due to the fact that longer range indicators will get you in late and exit too late. This is my experience with my bear indicator. I think this is so but I'll check again.
Bear market starts when using SH., monthly ma.2 closes above ma.21 in my book.

Xiv 45.38. 1/3rd position. Thinking of always holding a 3rd position and buying around it. Pullbacks
on Xiv in bull markets can be 50% which would bring it to 23 but rebounds are quick. So I would buy 2/3rds at bottom with a cost average of 30. Prob. Bounces back to 45, making 50% several weeks after the dive. This is all in a perfect world.
