On the FAZ & the SKF

FAZ and SKF are both Exchange-Traded Funds in the US aimed at exploiting the opportunities from falling bank and financial shares. An alternative to buying yen or buying USD to capitalize on an emerging sell-off in shares would be to go unleveraged by purchasing these ETFs via any provider of online stock trading. FAZ is the cheaper and more volatile option, used as triple bearish the financials, whereas SKF is the more expensive and less leveraged ETF. Both ETFs have shown massive declines since the March rally, but note how their oscillator has regained positive territory for the first time since the beginning of the recovery in stocks in early March.

Equities have been rallying for the past 2 months and now finally turning. Any particular range to look out for the downside for the S&P? thanks
Ashraf
You mentioned that we are in 2.5 years of bear market. In your estimate, when do we start the bear market?
Dow was at 14000 around mid 2007. Based on this, we are only around 2 years of bear market. could you help to clarify on what i miss here?
thanks!

Your call for the S&P to make a lower low 550 - 570 is very bearish but i believe your right ..
The world is still in denial about how bad the USA economy and world economies are ..
I'm trading with this in mind ..
Thanks

FAZ/SKF compound daily. As a result unless we are in a strongly trending market, they will lose value as the daily churn eats up the value. They are primarily day-trading tools and at best useful for swing trading a move. If the financials continue to trade side-ways, both FAZ (and FAS) will lose value.
However if you expect the financials to start a major downtrend with one-sided moves, these instruments will do very well, as they did early this year.
