So far seems to be the right mix. Up 1.75% at this point today. [edit: ok...2.1%] Lunch. Do some gardening upstairs...pick a salad. Tomorrow could do anything from here. More napping in advance....

At 40% 3x bear and 60% long (all the same stocks still), The math works out to 120% short vs 60% long. A nice two to one ratio. Leakage in the long holdings is very acceptably countered by the short. Net +15% for the week. On the 56 thread over these months, the battle to stay ahead of 3x bear losses was a very successful one with additions made to the bear position slowly at first then more heavily into "the virus" bringing it up to 40%. Some cash sitting aside as well. Will look into phys. Ag add this week.
