Thank you for your honesty, but who's the bigger fool - you or the OP?
I agree that he could have managed his exit much better such as locking in a profit with a spread - but leaving some room for more.
Ghost of Cutten called the silver top live nearly spot on. He bailed early on his trade, also. I did similarly with an oil short.
I guess that we're all just profitable fools.

Sorry to say, I think that's a losing lottery ticket.
Why buy AGQ when you can just buy puts in SLV directly?
Silver's had the huge run up with few pullbacks and I'm guessing there's tons of people salivating on the sidelines saying: "Man, it's just run up too fast, but first pullback, I'm in!" I just don't see a 50% drop in the next couple of weeks.
Also, those puts are so far OTM that even if silver does get a decent pullback, you'll only participate in a minuscule fraction of it.
