OT- Don't want to go off in the bushes on Pauls thread, but did want to comment on holding few positions. No more posts on this subject.

TZA is 300% inverse the Russel 2000. Not a holding just short term insurance. The only thing I will hold in the red, which it is by $200 since my buy Thursday afternoon.

Doubt I am any better than you at predicting short term market moves, although hindsight is 20/20. Stock specific market news is also a mystery.

There are market mavens calling for pops, drops, and anything else you can think of for Monday morning. Here is my situation:

We open flat – no big deal
We open up – my high beta stocks should support losses in TZA
We open down – my choice – I get to sell TZA while my stocks are down

I'd say odds are the market will be up because I'm sitting out.
