UGAZ drops too fast? No worry today 1 for 10 reverse split!

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.
your $10 became $75 (you only have 1 sh post revers). plain vanilla XLF went from $4 to $30. pretty much same.

No surprise there. Never said "C is the greatest trade in the world"... just using it as example of a reverse split that worked out, at least so far. (We don't know whether the reverse split had anything to do with the price bounce.... frankly, I doubt it. The reverse split was to allow institutions to trade in the issue as many are prohibited from trading issues <$5 or <$10/share.)

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

Yeah.... so long as it keeps crashing. Reverse splits are usually shorting traders "wet dream come true". It's almost like the announcement of a reverse split is an automatic fade.

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.
