It was bizarre. Last week esp.

You think you had it weird??!! I was trading TYP, which is an ultra-short ETF and it fluctuated between $9.50 and .15 cents. within the course of 10 minutes.

I also had been distracted at the time and when I returned it was trading $5 below where I had bought it. Fortunately it stabilized above my entry price and I made a decent profit. But now I can't feel comfortable trading it because the chart is too messed up.

But just couldn't understand why ANY ultra-short ETF would have traded near zero. QID had a 15 point swing as well.

I pretty much missed all the excitement. I was at a pretty swanky
joint being treated out to a fairly extended lunch and didn't find
out about all the hubbub until it was already over.

I'm actually glad about being in the dark in hindsight - it would
have ruined a great lunch.
