Hey Neww, can you explain this a bit more? I'm not understanding the spot gamma vs theta (even after reading your response to gmal). Can you also elaborate on how you came up with the implied carry #?
 
OP, thoughts on potential banning of shorting? Seems like SEC is tightening requirements (read shutting down) for inverse ETFs. Will ending shorting temporarily prop and/or reverse this crash?

There are bear ETFs so that's a work-around, as well as simply shorting the synthetic, which will result in arbs for MMing firms that are allowed to short as they will be buyers of the synthetic and shorting shares to complete the reverse-conversion.

No idea if shorting is banned, but it's a mistake.
