Still think it's interesting to look into. Labu Labd did not have a huge differential.
The best example of a huge differential would be SKF/UYG in 08. You can see how much SKF dropped & how high UYG has gone. I'm aware of splits and all but in general across the board there seems to be a bias. If you want to do this safely one can try it with a basket of ETFs . I am already shorting Dslv & will add Jdst.
But then again, doing it my way or with pair trades, you will get shelled if what happened to finance(skf) in 08 happens again, I believe a 300% move up, so pair trades is not safe. But on the other hand, UYG has had a 18 times return.

Switched from the boring Slv to these, who was I kidding by thinking I could move that slow.
Now gotta pack for Paris.

Lovely day today at Montmartre, though really tired from climbing stairs.
LONG UWT looking good.

The Paris Mystique has worn off, can't wait to get home. You see the Arc de Triomphe more than once, you feel like you're at Disney. Standing under the Eiffel Tower is spell bounding but I've had enough. Today was great in Montmartre though. Most of Paris is not quaint, it's more like New York with some nice architecture. The streets are not filled with music. There is no signature French food here, it almost all sux, just burgers and tough steak. Did have the most amazing ravioli in chive cream sauce today though. What an overrated city. Greece rocks 10 times more.

Brilliantly put a buy to cover on TVIX at open.
Xiv about to drop dramatically.
Just bought 6k worth of LOUIS VUITTON for the wife. She'll resell on layaway for nearly double.

Actually, Jdst SHORT was the play but no shares and 18% borrowing fee, I would have done it if they would have had it. That tells you a lot when Jdst is 18% while Jnug is 2%.
