Jaime; & ALL , I'v decided these Pro-Funds on the NDX are not worth
the hassle.
techstocks.com
While I'm still in the USPIX I intend to lock her off tomorrow
and unwind. ( that may not happen if we have another Up day
and no dips..but the first good dip day I'll get out of her )
---------------
Trading the QQQ is work enough , and when I use my spare money
to lock off the FUNDs, it defeats day trading to some extent.
Well most of it,
Today I went long qqq at the open.. then sold , then shorted, then covered ; then shorted again just before the close.

All the trades just did offset the down side of the USPIX,
With out being in the FUND , then I would have had a fair
daytrading day. Last week when in the UOPIX while I came out
ahead but it was a hassle to do it, and feel I could have done
just as good with the QQQ and with less trouble.

PS
BTW the QQQ hasn't really done squat ( on a buy and hold
style ) if you take in the picture from it's start up.
I think it's Time to buy bonds , and just play this daytrading on
margin, margin rates cost me nothing if I'm in and out
the same day.
