Why Shorting SDS is in my opininion the greatest long term strategy for the average investor
Nov 8th
IF you look at the chart located HERE, you will see that over time, SDS does worse than its non leveraged counterpart SH.
This is caused by the Constant Leverage Trap, a problem with double leverage that causes below 200% returns.
The solution to the issue, and the way to achieve an over 200% return, In periods of volitility.
If you short this, or any of the leveraged ETF funds listed below, you may be able to better use ETF’S to maximize your profit

Now I included the regular short ETFs because I wanted to make a point. **The following Idea is a derivative of something I am trying to start a fund based upon** You can go 100% pro the s&p, dow, nasdaq.. etc. and get a better than 100% return against the index. Now some will argue that the Double Leverage trap dosent exist but I believe that it is an effective way to game this market.
My reccomendation for this week is to wait until tuesday to go long. I will Post another brief on monday night.

My case for temporary rising oil
Aug 31st
So, lets ignore the fact that there is an incoming cat 4-5 hurricane.
We just used at least 5 million gallons of fuel evacuating (i thought 4 gallons per person leaving N’Orleans would be too little but hey, youd criticize me if i said more), we also have the increase in airfuel usage, transport costs, levy-generator running.
In addition to this, the platforms have shut off 1.5 million barrels a day in production, for about a week, that adds up to 10.5 gallons, so we have a minimum loss before the storm (regardless of storm damage to platforms-refineries) of 15.5 million barrels of oil.
Your medicine for a broken market: Why I bought SSO today
Jul 29th
First off the good news,
I WAS GRANTED MARGIN
That means I can finally go in and out of stocks like I have always wanted to, and in this volitile market, that is the most valuable thing you can hope for.
The market was set for a turnaround and looking at where oil was going I decided that An investment in the S&P 500 was a good idea.
SSO is a double leveraged etf, so if you apply another 2x layer through margin to it you are getting a BROADLY diversified portfolio, yielding 4x the daily result of the s&p 500. You could also short the market 4x with SDS. Now this may seem like a risky move, but lets consider what could concievably happen in a three day period. Lets say the market moves up 1.3% a day. This would mean that SSO would be yeilding 2.6% a day, with compoundment this would mean that you would have yeilded 8% on a regular portfolio. And 16% on a leveraged 2x portfolio. In otherwords, the market retraces less than 3.9% (Which I believe it will.) and you made 16%. Mind you, the exact opposite could happen, so be careful, and ask an investment advisor before doing anything.
A hedge to fund yourself with: the $150 oil caution, solar panel makers First Solar (FSLR) and Intel (INTC) might be for you
Jul 26th
So after reading the previous article you may have thought to ask,
“But Jay what happens if the price of oil goes up”
I have a hedge against that right here for you that I’m relatively sure will not go down that much if oil does that will experience a likely 20% gain if oil does rebound.
First Solar design manufactures and sells solar energy modules and Intel has recently gotten into the raquet due to their specialty in chip making anyway. Because these two companies will continue to have customers due to planning and smart (in my opinion) foresight on some peoples accounts. However, should $150 oil become a possibility again, and other energy costs go up with it, for example a continuing rise in oil these companies might be what you would want to be in, in addition to this intel is being used more in more in apple devices, as they can also have windows run on them, as such, if Apple (AAPL) goes up, then Intel (INTC) could easily too.
