Interesting, thanks Boolish ... probably not something i'll do any time soon, been all fired up three or four times before to start a short account, never actually got to it ... there's always something from the long side more interesting, and that angle is far more familiar Swampy's concerns are legitimate, but imho no rational person would allocate much of pf to anything high-risk in the first place ... and some of these look really juicy, for instance hzd.to which didn't gain much from the silver crash the last few months, not near as much as it's likely to lose on silver recovery ... whole list of leveraged ETFs here - etf.stock-encyclopedia.com Got as much as possible of the TSFA funds into accts before tuesday open, spent approx a quarter on ort.to, near a fifth on dmm.to [even though those accts have tons already] ... near a quarter on snd.v, and added more of that since in taxable accts, getting to be a core fave ... added bit of npk.v, let half of that go today ... added nominal tak.v just because it's my pick in the contest, you have to put your money where your mouth is ... keep adding bits of ckg.v but near all in taxable accts as the sheltered bucks have been spent su.to - sold majority today when it couldn't get over yesterday's high, three-day run now after gap-up, time to settle, will reload somewhere around gap-fill, have to keep alert for US-side gap-fill too of course gwg.v - got a few today, probably more for hold than trade, don't have many and like their prospects, was wanting to bid .40ish last week but all funds were committed already ... saw your posts on gwg last night, couldn't respond as house was full of kids - between the wanderlust and the short people i don't get much net time any more xme.v - you still follow Xmet? ... had a mild uptick on mild volume today, also a 2.25m trade in some backroom two weeks ago ... sure has been well supported at 0.09, except for that one tick last friday
