The problem with inverse ETF’s is that you have to accurately time/ID the bottom of the market and bail out. That is difficult to do when you are dealing with such unknowns.
Yes, I usually stay away, but in a black swan it’s safer. I got in at 13.05 and tried to time it and got clobbered... still way up.
The bodies are not even piling up yet, so it is not going to get better - don’t get me wrong, I wish it were going to get better, but I don’t see that happening, unfortunately.
At this rate, I’ll be the richest CoronaVirus victim in the graveyard.
