You gotta be careful holding overnight, especially on huge down days. The volatility decay associated with the daily reset is brutal. Much better to use margin and buy 3X dollar amount of GDXJ. However, since you are buying near the closing price, the impact on your trade will be minimal. Affect of Volatility Decay - Although GDX is over 17% higher than the February high, NUGT traded within 2 cents of its February high. - On a straight leveraged basis, NUGT should be over 50% higher. - The volatility cost is about 7% per month.
