A few days ago, I purchased 100 shares of DXD to double short the Dow. This is yet another reason I love ETFs; they provide mechanisms for shorting a market without resorting to actual futures/options trading to short. The chart shows the Dow climbing up in a straight line for the past 6 months. I’m an optimistic guy but this trend can’t hold forever and there will be a pull back and correction.
My target is 2% appreciation in a short period (over the next few weeks / month).

Either way, it was profitable for me. I hope it was profitable day for you. [...]
