[12:19] <+codehead> rick--we talking about leveraged funds... check out FAS vs FAZ, 3x long, 3x short:
[12:19] <+codehead> http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=fas# ... =undefined
[12:20] <+codehead> you might have to clikc Max down below
[12:20] <+codehead> seems to revert to 1 day
[12:20] <+codehead> anyway, they are mirror images, as you would expect
[12:20] <+rickf> looks like a fish
[12:20] <+codehead> except that the whole thing slants down
[12:20] <+codehead> both at at a huge loss over their lifetime
[12:21] <+codehead> if FAZ is down 90% or whatever it is, you would expect FAS to be way up, but it's down 60%

[12:24] <+szubaark> Shorts ES @ 840 «« paper »»
[12:24] <+szubaark> TANK!!!!!!!!
[12:25] <+codehead> well, if one is 3x long, and the other is 3x short, they would be pretty close to opposite
[12:25] <+codehead> but the more important point is they are both down huge
[12:25] <+codehead> despite one being long the sector, the other being short the sector
[12:25] <+szubaark> i need to stop trading afternoons, too much crap going on
[12:25] <+rickf> in this marketplace and given the quirky nature of new investing instruments and rebalancing and so forth, i have given up trying to apply logic to these things
[12:25] <+rickf> szu - this is the dead zone
[12:26] <+codehead> i think the best thing is to short both--lol
[12:26] <+rickf>
[12:27] <+codehead> dang, that actually sounds like a pretty solid strategy
