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.
