Loving the volatility on this thing lately

Not really understanding all the hate for this ETF as have been doing really well the past few weeks as finding it the perfect gambling tool. I've had 5 separate 10% + days since the middle of October and after today got a double of my initial $20K bet a month ago.

Can see where if you're not paying attention to the entry and exit points can lose huge but buying around the 52 week lows and waiting a couple days seems to be working just fine for me.

This is a total mad money play with a day or two hold tops now that I seem to have the timing figured out.

Anyone else doing ok out there?

ive been trading hvu since 2012 and i can say that up until this past year its been very hard to make gains with it. took some big losses between 2012-2014, but with that said i have made all money back and am ahead on it on it since last october. its obviously all timing and like i said before certain months are better to attempt to trade it than others.

Was able to make a bit of profit back in the day, but thought the risk/reward wasn't worth it. I don't have the balls to hold during the S&P dips which are the only times you can make bigger money in this crud.

if s&p breaks 2055-2058 convincingly that should be enough to get hvu to break out of the range its been in for past 10 days.......

well that took some work but sold rest of position today, sold some yesterday. im not a big time investor like some who post here but I had 500 shares at avg 33.12. anyways happy with the results even though I really do feel like s&p going to test 50 dma at some point just don't think it will be today. Im expecting a bounce in s&p to 2055-2058 area then will look to get back in. of ...more
