            Bought some INDZ India Bear at 36.67. Down 10% last 2 days, but numbers getting worse, default discussions in newspapers.

                Bought some UVXY in the pre-mkt at 19.35. Has gone up last 3 Fridays, expecting some protection buying for 3-day weekend.

                • neobliviscar: Probably a smart move. After narrowly dodging the TVIX disaster a while back, I've been avoiding these vol ETFs. Usta love them.

                            I purchased some shares of ELRC at 13.98. 5.7% yield. Good chance of a dividend increase soon.

                                And that, my friends, is how you get a double in 10 days. DUST June $75 puts $13.20 ----> $26.40.

                                            I just sold one of my DUST puts because I thought it would be fun to lock in a $1,000 gain on one put. $13.20 ----> $23.22 in 9 days +76%.
