ProShares Short SmallCap600 T.SBB


Primary Symbol: SBB

The investment seeks daily investment results that correspond to the inverse (-1x) of the daily performance of the S&P SmallCap 600 Index. The fund invests in financial instruments that ProShare Advisors believes, in combination, should produce daily returns consistent with the funds investment objective. The index is a measure of small-cap company U.S. stock market performance. It is a float-adjusted, market capitalization-weighted index of 600 U.S. operating companies selected through a process that factors in criteria such as liquidity, price, market capitalization, financial viability and public float. The fund is non-diversified.

RE: RE: RE: that's more like it

RE: RE: RE: that's more like itThe world's financial system seemed at moderate risk these past few weeks.  It almost looked as though the bullion banks were facing a massive default on their huge short positions.  But they managed to (barely?) contain the situation and things seem to have stabilized (for now).  However, each time one of these panic's ensue, it gets harder to contain.  And one of these times the bullion banks are going to get nailed.  It would be interesting to know the real situation with the LBMA right now.  I doubt its any good.  Adding to their pressure is China that would love to dump their $3 trillion in foreign reserves for something tangible, but has so far been restrained in doing so as converting these reserves causes their value to depreciate. 


That said, this huge herd of "investors" is like a warthog - short memory.  Here's a quote: 


"Due to their forgetful nature, warthogs often fall victim to lions. A warthog’s memory is inexcusable, downright horrible. After fleeing a lion it is not uncommon that after a few meters, the warthog will stop, forgetting why they were running in the first place."
