Quote from midniteeuropa:
what u talking about? it decays up and it decays down.
a few days of financial downside will decay it up real fast.
Ok lets say we have a few down days right now, and it flies up 50%...wow amzing gains right? Not if you bought it a couple weeks ago, you just got lucky and recovered some of your losses. Look at the chart for FAZ over its lifetime. How many gaining days do we have? How much has it lost? Did it trend up in the bear market before march 6th? Sure for a couple of days here and there, it hits really nice prices, but then foom it falls below where it was before.
If you miss a top with FAZ, then you missed it, and it isn't coming back.
