SKF daily Nov 19th
I prefer SKF over FAZ (-3x/short financial sector ETF) for this trade as the 200% leverage is less prone to decay than the 300% ETF should the financials grind around for some time while pounding out a top. Basically, leveraged ETFs can provide returns in excess of the move of the underlying index during relatively unidirectional (mostly straight up or down) trends (rallies & corrections) but tend to suffer from decay during periods of a lot back & forth red & green closes.
