A 70k bet that I can't make a 50% gain in 2009

03/18/09:

Total P/L + 352.38
4 Trades
2 wins
2 losses

I've been trolling in Mr Weinstein's chat room while at work and it makes it hard to post in here...I guess any rulings on trades I'll have to call NoDoji in here to varify.
 
G,

At a point I wanted to short FAZ, however my brokerage (tradestation) did not allow me, indicating it is Reg SHO threadhold security. Does this mean such securities are not shortable? Have you ever shorted FAZ with your brokerage?

I manage to short SKF before...very similar.

If not, go long FAS.

There are also options on XLF for leverage.

Although, I see FAZ and SKF is more of a vehicle for reversion to the mean type trades.
