your $10 became $75 (you only have 1 sh post revers). plain vanilla XLF went from $4 to $30. pretty much same.Only partially true. Not really talking about "getting back to highest pre-split price". May eventually do so, but in the meantime...
C got down to $.99/share and had a 1:10 reverse split. (I know, I was watching it because they were the custodian for my IRA... considered, but unfortunately didn't buy 1 Million shares). Now >$75. That wouldn't have been the world's greatest trade, but not chopped liver, either.

You can literally short this over and over again and make unlimited amounts of money....

Take a look at the borrow rate. And the max short term upward move it's seen. One could say the same about shorting VIX futures but it's picking up nickels in front of a steamroller.You can literally short this over and over again and make unlimited amounts of money....
