Joe, I've been whacked by the $8 rule a couple of times. Any pick that opens below $8.00 will be adjusted to $8.00. So never pick a horse that could reasonably be expected to open below $8.00.

It's a shame this week because your idea is working extremely well so far. UGAZ is up a bunch. You could get similar results by shorting DGAZ. With these leveraged etf's that have long and short mirror image pairs, if one is below $8 the other one is very likely above $8. So you can work around the $8 pretty easily.

Good luck in the New Year. -ira

BBBY Long

Congrats Spidey!

I'll ride ZMLP Short. -ira

[joe]

Congrats spiderman. Thanks Ira for input. I keep forgetting the 8 minimum, keep thinking as long as volume is there it's good. These 3xers are interesting, just noticed the opposing sides, regardless of price, move same opposing percentages. Can't believe I haven't noticed these basics.

Short DWTI.
