FAS and FAZ, 3 Months

FAS and FAZ, triple financial ETFs, bull and bear respectively.

Both have been dead in the water for the last 6 weeks.

I think holding FAS + writing calls is (was?) the best strategy here.

FAS/FAZ Divergence

Most of the time FAS and FAZ are up/down the same percentage. But every once in awhile they go off track, don’t know if it’s intentional or what.

Today is one of those days. (FAZ: 25.99 +0.54%) is up rought 1% less than (FAS: 90.42 -0.58%) is down. They may even out at the end of the day, but from what I’ve seen before, this will not be corrected.

I suppose it could be because of the afterhours or premarket action, but not sure.
