What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

1. The only comment so far on the article…
   “Betting against people who are betting against stocks.”
   Isn’t that just called buying stocks?
   lol

2. Difference is this uses options which are cheaper than going long a stock. This way you can get a lot more upside for a lot less money. Also you’re only out the cost of the option so the downside is lower. You can do this yourself by buying call options but I guess this ETF is offering the services of some so-called “expert”.

3. SHORT the SHORTS…… must keep Ponzi going at all costs. You see the short squeeze all the time, not a bad way for the little guy to get in on the big action. LOL life is almost too short for all this non-sense…. gold, land, cattle and a good rifle, short that. Some days the evil side of me wishes for just a few months of deflation just to make those bastards squirm and feel the sink in their guts, blotted buggers. Off to fish camp, enjoy the weekend all!!!!

4. If you want to get in the middle of the supply – demand tug of war go right ahead.
   If you don’t know what the hell your talking about stay out of it.

5. I say ‘who cares?’ Just another way to have fun if that’s the type of entertainment you like. Be sure there is enough trading volume so you don’t get caught holding the bag when you want to get out. No volume = added risk!

6. Investing in rumour and gossip doesn’t belong on the stock market. I’ll go with the grown ups and pay attention to what the Pandas do. The World cup will make or break the serious gamblers. It’s all a big joke (I think). Regardless, a fool and his money are soon parted. Old saying but true then and still true now.

7. Things to know about the stock market
   Real investing comes from Dividend yielding stocks. Best ones are those you know or purchase from or work with and can be assured that you can hold the stock for years without it going bust.
   Sell when capital gains reach 10% or more.
   Don’t sell at a loss ever, because you don’t lose money until you sell.
   You can ride out all the idiots being idiots if you’re patient, its pretty easy to avoid panic buying or selling.
   The stock market is only a collection of numbers based on what the last rube was willing to buy any given stock for. Most people who trade and gawkers from the sidelines are clueless of that fact. ‘Journalists’ who report on the stock market went to journalism school to be a journalist. Its why they can put a simple explanation everyday of why an Index based on millions of people who paid the last price for anything did what they did.
   People who buy stocks contra trading, on margin or short with no backup plan for covering the calls are only fooling themselves and deserve to lose their shirts.
   Even if you’re suddenly a millionaire on paper, you’re not until you execute the sell order and the brokerage deposits the money from whomever bought your stock into your account.
   Mutual Funds and EFT’s are only there to make a fund manager rich.
