LOL/Mostly do trends;
because that countertrend SPXS was looking like pretty weak week\exit.
I like the way mr Musk is leaving CA/too many regs/taxes......... I may get back in SPXS later in the year; but it does not look like he is ever going to do business in CA again...................................................................................................................
Be careful!
My opinion, the bull is not done yet, more mkt upside coming, lots more.
Bears / shorts have more pain coming their way.
Good point especially if stimulus bill passes over the weekend. Will scale into inverses cautiously this time

"How quickly can the S&P 500 index go from 0 to volatile?
Wall Street will soon find out, as investors strap in for what could be a frenetic ride in equities thanks to electric-vehicle maker Tesla.
On Dec. 18, Tesla’s planned inclusion in the granddaddy of the benchmark U.S. stock indexes is set to create what Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst for S&P Dow Jones Indices, described to MarketWatch as “the mother of all” stock market rebalancing events. An event that will alter the topography of the S&P 500 at a pivotal time in an already tumultuous period in financial markets.
This Friday though at 5:15 p.m. Eastern is the time when investors will learn which companies will be taken out of the index or have their weightings scaled back to make way for the $572 billion electric automobile pioneer. With CEO Elon Musk owning some 20% of the company’s shares though, the value will be closer to $460 billion."
