Nymex Natural Gas Bear+ ETF. If you own it for anything more than a very short period, there tends to be leakage in the performance. If you are a day trader and you have a conviction on the price direction, these are the tools you use. Hasn't used it lately because of the volatility of the gas price.
Natural Gas Bear+ ETF. Wouldn't be trading this but would use the Natural Gas Bull+ ETF instead. Natural gas chart shows a very long and steady decline but the recent increase looks quite good but thinks there is limited upside. You could have a short-term trade on natural gas from $4.50 to $5, which is not bad.
Natural Gas Bear+ ETF. Lots of risk with this double natural gas. Not for the average investor but if you do think about us on a very short-term basis.
Global Mining Bear+ ETF. Based on the Canadian mining index. If you have a negative view of the mining sector, this will give you the negative inverse. Don't think of them as long-term but as less than a month or else you have deviations from your 2X return.
Leveraged double down for Nat Gas. At the upper endof the range you want to avoid gassy players. At the lower end of the range you want to accumulate. These leveraged ETFs are not good for long term holds.
Good vehicle for short term trading. He would wait for this. It is bouncing around. Nat Gas is rallying again. Wait for a key reversal day. Maybe on a Thursday after an inventory report.
Inverse and directional ETFs are okay for short term exposure is okay. No issues for holding a matter of weeks. Usually, it turns into a long term hold and then it becomes a problem. Not for long term trading. If you have a short term view that natural gas will go up, it is a good option. However, you are trading commodity futures so you must understand this. The more volatile the underlying asset is, the worse it is as a long term hold.
