OP has SDS. SDS = Short-Dick Syndrome
$FNMA is going to do very well: - Bill Ackman will get his way and have the government forgiving those Senior Preferred Shares (SDS) - Treasury Department has **sole discretion** in handling the SDS - Right now, Fannie Mae is making ~$15 billion a year before SDS, in a very depressed mortgage market environment. SDS is currently taking away **all** Fannie Mae earnings - The government owns 80% of Fannie Mae right now in addition to SDS. $FNMA common is valued at $12.44B after Friday's close - Fannie Mae makes 2/3 of its money from guarantee fees at 0.4%, the rest from interest rate spread - Reducing Fed fund rate will increase mortgage activities and interest rate spread, both very beneficial
I do not like them. Why not buy puts? What I do with my hedge money. I have convinced myself it is far better. It is essentially 100x leverage for a finite fee. Has done me well the past month. I use SPY to buy puts against. Does take effort to be successful. I built this separate hedge account during COVID. It is still healthy so I consider that validation as well. And I compare it to $SDS often. I am doing multitudes better with this approach
Could also consider SETH or SDS right now. Those are shares for shorting Etherium and SPY respectively.
inverse ETFs are intended for short-term trading, so your plan assumes you know when the crashes will start and stop. Jack Schwager's book *Market Sense and Nonsense* has a chapter on inverse and leveraged ETFs. these ETFs are very complex and the long-term performance often doesn't play out as people expect. he writes about 2006 to 2011, a very volatile period for the S&P 500. someone invested equally in SSO and SDS was almost entirely wiped out. >...consider an investor who bought equal amounts of both the leveraged long and short ETFs (that is, equal long positions in the SSO and SDS). **Although this combined investment sounds like a neutral holding in which the two positions should approximately offset each other, the reality is radically different. The combined investment would have lost the equivalent of 99 percent, measured relative to the amount invested in each ETF!**
I am experimenting with holding about 2-5% of a 200K high-growth (speculative calls, spreads and some CSP for cash/stability and some stock) portfolio in 30-60 day VIX calls to protect against shocks and holding SDS shares (inverse SPY) to protect against grinding downturns. My VIX was up 89% on Friday and SDS up about 7%. Also tightening my use of stops, trailing stops and good targets and discipline
I got unexpected dividend from SDS LOL, I was just trying to stay short on SPY 🤓
SDS bear ETF for S&P 500 is down today on a negative day, how the fuck does that work
I went into this weekend mostly defensive port. Sectors that were red most of the week, some $SDS and $SPXS and $UVXY (not huge positions just hedging for downside action)
Appears the news is out ! You buy the rumor and sell the news ! I bought some (SDS) ultra Dow short mainly to hedge stock positions I do t want to sell right now Tech is holding up well, some stocks within DJIA may sell off a bit
The coming years are going to be wild. Any discretionary you have should be in the market in some way because shit is going nothing but straight up. Myself, more risk heavy but that means nothing anymore. My good buddy who's a SDS at NREL started his career building models to optimize wind energy, now he's being forced to model where the most optimal locations for AI data centers are. Needless to say, he's not optimistic. Smoke em if ya got em I guess.
SPXU is 3X. SDS is 2X. You don’t have to read, just backtest. If you buy at the right time in a trending market, you can hold long-term and do very well. But the market will go through corrections and bear markets like 2022 during which time the leveraged ETFs will lose significant value. Those unlucky enough to buy TQQQ in December 2021 and hold are just now breaking even.
There is Math Decay, 100x10%=110, 110x-10% = 99, Lost 1% due the the Math. People like to call it 'Volatility decay' but it is Simple Math. Take your SPXU & SDS( it's -2x counterpart). S&P if is EVEN over a year, SPXU/SSO will be Negative(\~8-12%). Math comparison favor the Negative Integer. SDS, the Inverse of SPXU/SSO will also be Negative, even greater, much greater. Compounding is another Math situation, yet it's not inherent in Math. Thats why you see a 2x make more than the Index because the Index is UP. When EVEN or negative you lose a great deal with a LONG position on LETFs.
The most valuable comment of the mindless string. I own some SDS and didn't see the sell off after hours. Thank you. Was spacing out
The past week, I bought shares of DFEN, GUSH, UVIX, SDS, calls for SPXU SPXS and puts for a few companies. Will snatch up 10 shares here and there of SVIX when VIX is up. If it drops below 12.50 I’ll buy a 1 month out call for 13. 100 SHLD but not trying to to play with a CC right now
Also, here is Gemini's assessment of your nonsense math. TLDR: It agrees that you are completely wrong. This is deeply misleading. Let me explain why their argument fails, and why leveraged ETFs — especially inverse leveraged ETFs like -2x — decay much faster over time than a simple -1x inverse ETF. 1. Their Claim in Simple Terms They claim that because the product of alternating returns in their stylized model is equal across -1x and -2x, the decay is the same. They use an artificial setup with a toy example of price moves up and down by g and claim symmetry around p = 0.5. 2. Why This Is Wrong a. Daily Rebalancing Is Key ETFs — particularly leveraged ETFs — rebalance daily to maintain their leverage. This means their exposure resets each day based on daily returns, not long-term price changes. Over time, this leads to path-dependent decay due to volatility drag, especially for leveraged products. Example: Suppose an asset moves +10% one day and -10% the next. Total return for the asset: (1.1)*(0.9) = 0.99 → -1% Now compare a 2x leveraged ETF: Day 1: +20% → 1.2 Day 2: -20% → 0.96 Net: 1.2 * 0.8 = 0.96 → -4% This greater loss is the decay due to volatility — not captured by their simple geometric product model. b. Their “Symmetry” Argument Misunderstands Decay They argue decay is “symmetric about p = 0.5”. That’s a theoretical artifact in their algebra, but not true in practice. Empirically and mathematically, decay accelerates with leverage magnitude due to compounding on volatile paths. c. Real-World Behavior of Inverse ETFs A -1x inverse ETF decays slowly in choppy sideways markets. A -2x or -3x inverse ETF decays rapidly, often losing 90%+ over a few years even if the underlying goes nowhere. Look at historical examples: SH (ProShares -1x S&P 500): mild long-term decay. SDS (ProShares -2x S&P 500): steeper decay. SPXU (-3x): catastrophic decay even in flat markets. 3. What They Miss Entirely Real volatility leads to non-linear decay. Leverage amplifies daily volatility drag. Their math is valid only under no volatility or an idealized two-step model — not a random walk over time. --- Bottom Line: A -2x ETF decays much faster than a -1x ETF due to volatility drag and daily rebalancing. The response you shared uses an abstract model that ignores how leverage interacts with volatility over time. It's a textbook example of math detached from practical investing realities.
Ironically, telling a private business what they should charge is the kind of thing that would trigger SDS(Socialism derangement syndrome) in most republicans. But when he does it they'll say it's good actually and not woke or whatever.
What do you think of inverse ETFs like SDS? I’m thinking of getting in on that if J Pow is about to get fired.
I like it because it compounds. If I bought a long dated SPY put, a 1% drop now would give a greater return than a further 1% drop after it loses half its value. SDS is the opposite.
Markets pricing in infinite optimism while ignoring mounting risks, classic setup for a violent correction when reality hits. Your SDS play makes sense if this complacency cracks
Trump will tell all his billionaire friends to buy these inverse ETFs an hour before he tries to fire Powell: # SH – ProShares Short S&P 500 ETF SH is the ProShares Short S&P 500 ETF. It is the most popular inverse ETF, with nearly $3 billion in assets. The fund provides a -1x daily return – direct inverse behavior – of the S&P 500 Index. For example, if the S&P 500 Index drops by $1, this ETF will rise by roughly $1. This ETF has an expense ratio of 0.89%. # SDS – ProShares UltraShort S&P 500 ETF Those desiring a little more volatility may want to use leveraged funds. SDS is the ProShares UltraShort S&P 500 ETF. It is a leveraged inverse ETF providing -2x daily returns of the S&P 500. If the S&P 500 drops by $1, this ETF will rise by roughly $2.
Oh I sold it as it (it was bought at like $50) while it was still plummeting, lost like 15% of my entire portfolio... but it would've been 30% so I only felt sick for a couple hours because it could've been much worse. That's why I dare not do it again, I've been trading SDS (the 2x one) for like one minute at a time the past few days and at much smaller amounts. I'm slowly working towards getting over my self-imposed trauma.
LMAO I bought SDS and sold it 20s later for $77 because I panicked I was going to make the same mistake I made last Wednesday with SQQQ
I think you have to be long until a few of the major tariff deals come out and then go short again. (I’ve been short most of this tariff drama max exposure SDS into April 2nd). I think you have bear market incoming but short holders like myself will need an additional margin of safety given the trump pump and dump before we can stack on the short side again with volume.
I’m on the west coast and slept in and missed the morning pump, dammit! Bought some SDS when it was still flat. Bought an equal amount of AAPL at like 175 cause why not? It’s down 35% from the ATH; if it drops another 35% I’ll buy more and Trump will get impeached - win-win! Still at about 30% cash - wish I’d raised more…
I’m short overall but I’m still buying deals near the bottom to hedge and selling into strength today. Added to my SDS and SQQQ today and will sell that near bottom of range in next few days hopefully as I buy more cheapies. Rinse repeat until next leg down or my short position stops out.
I decided a long time ago to only buy and never sell and be a long term guy. I’m so fucking pissed at the insanity and how the Fox News crowd is coming up with every possible lie to justify it and fuck it I want to take those idiots money so I tried putting $300 into SDS. Gotta admit this roller coaster today is kind of exhilarating I get why you guys do this. Also fuck the MAGAs. The real damage is going to be to vulnerable people across the country and it’s just because this guy is insane and surrounded by sycophants.
How did you choose those 3 ? I am looking a bunch of inverse and can't tell where to focus . SQQQ SDS. SMST SOXS SBIT
How did you choose those 3 ? I am looking a bunch of inverse and can't tell where to focus . SQQQ SDS. SMST SOXS SBIT
Exactly my thoughts. Was wondering the same. Looking at SQQQ SDS you?
Still WAY too many people on here saying to buy the dip, DCA, ride it out, it’ll be fine in 6 months or a couple of years, etc. Wake me up when everyone is saying to buy puts, SDS and SQQQ.
SDS is the Sp500 version of inverse, and I believe that is x2 leveraged inverse. Just fyi.
I too lost about 40% YTD. I had cash on the sidelines that I was waiting for the tariffs to get announced and figured I would put to use. I put some into SQQQ and SDS (inverse etfs), that made me 30% returns this week. I also bought PUTS on both QQQ and SPY, which both brought back around 1,200% returns in 2 days. I am about 5% down YTD now. So, if you are willing to be degenerate, there are ways to make that money back. LOL
If it was predicted then it wouldn't have dropped like that. That being said, my SDS calls are printing nicely.
Down 3.76% for the day. Hedged with TSLZ and (not enough) SDS.
He sold a bunch of his stocks and shorted the market with SDS
I reserve shorting for cases where I have very high conviction of outright fraud or bankruptcy, and even then you can get your head handed to you in a short squeeze (ie:GME). The safer play is to buy puts/sell calls. You can also buy inverse funds such as SH or SDS.
Do I buy more TSLQ or expand into SDS?
$SDS, $SQQQ, Cash $JPM, $TIGR, $HITI, $TSLA (short), $IONQ (short)
That’s awesome. I bought SDS and am down 100. Thankfully I have no genital fortitude.
Thought I’d follow up. I jumped back in the market yesterday. Bought 7000 shares of SQQQ and 2000 of SDS. Up $25,000 as of now.
SDS and ONDS doing pretty good today. Everything else reddd
You could load up on bonds. During recessions, the Fed will lower rates to stimulate the economy and people flock to bonds, all of which drives prices up. Add to that Quantitative Easing, during which the Fed buys its own bonds to further drive prices up. Or, you can short the market. One quick and easy way is to buy shorting ETFs like SH and SDS, which have inverse correlations to the SP500 index.
The president on a whim can inflate the stock of a company (...tesla...) and fuck your position in TSLQ. Ask me how I know. Same same for entire market ala SDS. Market doing bad due to tariff announcements? Trump delays them, market shoots up. You might get lucky and guess correctly on the pump and dump.
Why I think we will swing bullish very shortly: SDS, a security that represents 2X inverse of the S&P returns is damn near neutral while the S&P is down near half a percent.
If questions like this are being asked you get eaten alive by IV and premiums. Just buy SDS or TSLQ or whatever other leveraged short instrument is your fancy. Get one or two monthly calls for high beta longs with a decent chance of holding up and check back in a couple weeks.
I about broke even on SDS today.
SH, SDS, TSLQ, 2% stop loss. Feelin good.
There is a middle ground. Save any dividend yielding stocks, make sure you have some cash in your portfolio, say 10-20%. If you haven't sold any NVDA yet, probably too late but if you have large profits still, take some profits, knowing you'll buy if it drops to the 80's or so. If you think the market will tank more, and you want to cover any drop, you could buy some NASDAQ shorts like SQQQ. Or some S & P 500 shorts like SDS.
Nice. I'm heavily short -- SQQQ, TWM, SDS -- so I'm good. The PLTR call was a lottery ticket.
Idk if its a rhetorical question, but just in case: Im buying / calling SH, SDS, SPXU. the entry level is lower than direct puts on spy.
It was two weeks ago for me. Liquidated a ton and bought TSLQ and SDS. TSLQ has been my best play ever +84% in two weeks.
He's panicking and wants people to stop selling. I went like 75% liquid. Kept my dividend stocks and also grabbed some TSLQ and SDS. Couldn't be happier with my call right now.
Inverse ETFs. They’re leveraged so holding for a long time isn’t ideal. But you can buy shares so when the market dumps it goes up. SQQQ, SDS, TSLQ, etc. There’s a lot so Google and they all inverse different things so do your research.
I make small plays in this one and SDS during volatile times like this. I use as a hedge and watch them closely, rarely holding more than couple weeks. Have some right now and locked in gains on 1/3 of it today.
Keep holding TSLQ and SDS.
Short the market! It's been working for me. I bought $TSLQ $TSLS $SQQQ and $SDS a couple weeks ago. The more Musk does, the more dips. Get ready for 80k people cut from the VA and then the shit show when he tries cut to Dept of Education. Bonus - If there is a Musk and Trump fall out.... Tesla shorts will make millionaires lol
SDS is my best preforming ETF for a month now.
I wonder why they wouldn’t take out long calls on something like SPXS, SDS or SQQQ. I can tell that has been my (rather shitty) strategy but I just haven’t timed it correctly (and might run out of money before I do).
Whelp just in case grab some SDS ETF?
SDS and SQQQ short-term, JPIE and SGOV thereafter
Because when I read this morning's news about the upcoming announcement I bought some SDS to bet against the market, that's why it didn't flinch. Sorry!
What a complete fully qualified asshole you are. Did that vile diatribe inflate your sense of self importance? Perhaps you are over compensating for SDS... Small Dick Syndrome. 😏
Instead of the Magnificent 7 , what if we had the Malignant 7? We call the ETF **$SDS.** 1. **Pride,** *LVMH Moët Hennessy - Louis Vuitton, Société Européenne ($MC.PA)* 2. **Envy,** *Hims & Hers Health, Inc.

The 'Math' is the simple part. When S&P is Even over a year both SSO & SDS will be \~\~-10%, yet now with the ever increasing Divs of Inverse LETFs it could even things out. Longs 'Need' compounding, shorts don't. Plus -100k shorted a year ago, you would only be out of pocket like 20k. No money up front on shorting on a margined account.
When did SDS double, dates? and when triple, dates? What broker has ever charged a HTB fee? You pay Margin interest shorting? Margin calls happen every week with aggressive short sellers. It's a Mathematical advantage, as long as you know what your doing.
He is SHORTING it. Hence -45% means +45%, Plus no out of pocket costs at beginning(if know how to margin your account) of Short sale. So probably on 10k short SDS a year ago, out of pocket cost... \~\~\~ 2k or so. So return on investment if he would Cover today. \~\~250%
As I said in my first sentence if I am missing something let me know. when I look us the SDS ticker this is what I see and it doesn't look good. https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/SDS?qsearchterm=sds
HUH? Than SDS short made 10% more than VOO. Plus your out of pocket expense would be like 20cents on dollar, so Technically SDS 250%+ on your return. Why so many Like your answer?, your 1st sentence says you have no idea what your answering. Sorry...
Those Borrow fees are the Dividend Yields of SDS, that Yes a short seller has to pay 'If' holds on Ex date. Your Sim chart shows UPRO, Not SPXU or SDS.
Well, suppose both SDS and SSO are $100. They both move the same % in the opposite direction every day. The s&p500 is going through a period of volatility (hypothetically), so it goes up 10%, then down 10%, up, down, up, down; 6 trading days in a row. SDS price goes: 110, 99, 108.9, 98.01, 107.8, 97, so you can see that we’ve lost 3% in a matter of days. SSO is the opposite direction, but there’s a similar effect: 90, 99, 89.1, 98.01, 88, 97. Both tickers have decayed 3%. However, since we have short sold SDS, it actually benefits us. This is a concept known as volatility decay. It occurs because every day at the opening bell, the leveraged etf starts at 0% and moves the price following the same % movement as whatever it’s based on.
Because it's not as rosy or easy as you make it seem. First of all, do you know that SDS is paying holders 3x the SOFR rate due to gains on equity swaps and gains on cash equivalents? So, when you buy VOO you pay nothing, but since SDS is an inverse, its holders are gaining 3x the borrow rate, equivalent to \~15% per year. Since you are short, you're also paying 15% annualized daily to "borrow" 2x the shares, not by paying cash, but through outperformance of the SDS NAV. There is no "free" leverage. There is also the issue of compounding. The long ETF or long stock gains through compounding. An inverse of that does not compound, but is actually opposite, your max gains when you short falls every time the long underlying rises, unless you re-short more of the inverse to increase maximum gains. A bigger issue is inverse compounding when the long ETF falls. By holding long, when stocks fall, it's better because you have a maximum loss, but since SDS is a daily inverse, the compounding kicks into gear when the underlying stock/ETF falls, compounding upwards. If you get caught shorting at this point, you'll lose much more than the underlying. The biggest problem is since you're shorting and when stocks fall, your losses actually compound instead of having a max loss, your position and margin maintenance actually increases instead of fall when stocks fall. This is a huge problem because as SDS rises and compounds, not only do you lose more on cash (losses are taken from cash), but your risk and position also balloons. If SDS goes up 2x, not impossible considering it happened during the pandemic, and it could even go up 3x like it did during 2008, then your -25% SDS short becomes -50% and your cash becomes 75%. Assuming you only had cash, the SDS position goes from -25% to -67%, with no guarantee it will stop going up. Since I know you're a degenerate gambler because that's who people shorting inverse ETFs are, you're probably holding a bunch of other stocks to get even higher leverage. The assuming you start with 100% VOO, -25% SDS, what happens during a crash, even a small one like the pandemic crash, is 100% VOO dumps -30%, cash loss of -25%, SDS gain of 100%. The result is -50% SDS, 45% stock portfolio, very close to a margin call. The last issue is psychology, sure you might not face a margin call right now or if VOO dumps 20%, but when your cash becomes negative because SDS doubled and you're paying margin rates on top of the HTB fees and SDS swap rates, when SDS is as high as your portfolio, putting you at 3x leverage even with a small 30% crash, will you hold through or will you be forced to cover at the highs of SDS and the bottom of the market? This is why "investors" don't use this strategy more. It's incredibly risky, incredibly difficult to manage, underperforms the market if the market compounds, and when really bad crashes happen, you lose even more.
Well, hear me out here. TQQQ, a leveraged etf, can decay rapidly and spontaneously which makes it a tough investment. My strategy takes advantage of the absence of this factor since we’re inverse; because SDS is going to drop ans decay consistently with smaller and smaller spikes every time, and reverse split after reverse split.
The leverage in SDS resets daily so it can deviate from the inverse of the sp500 compounding. Way harder to predict long term performance which = much higher risk for shorts Liquidity is a big concern Also there’s just way better strategies
Huh? You may not have a margin loan since you are using settled cash, but the actual holder of SDS is not giving it to you for free. How is there not a borrow cost?!
I need to look into boil... Also, I'm doing this with SPXS (and SOXS - cry - well, it's recovering now) - SDS is actually safer.. my 1/3rd value is probably too conservative. Also if BOIL is uncorrelated, this will work splendidly
Yes, just a vanilla, high-risk brokerage acct. My idea was to balance BOIL and SDS shorts with 50% of the portfolio, since both are usually mutually exclusive, and when one is down the other is usually unaffected.
Zero if I’m not over non-margin bp - expense ratio is under 1%. Strategy is to mitigate BOIL and SDS losses by cashing out the other ticker to cover losses (in a spike), then eventually it’ll always settle back down with certainty.
“Why don’t more investors time the market”? Well because it’s extremely difficult and generally retail investors are absolutely terrible at identifying proper risk/reward trades. Ask yourself how much someone would charge to let you borrow SDS given the decay, expense ratio, etc?
Am I missing something? SDS is down 45% YOY whereas VOO is up 36%. If you are asking why more investors don't use leveraged invesmtents it's because of the volatility. Charlie Munger famously said there are only 3 ways a rich man can go broke - ladies, liquor and leverage.
Just loaded up so SDS and QID - bear trap it is boys!
Thanks for sharing - I'll have a look. Actually, what I am evaluating at the moment - there are a handful of ETFs that show an exponential decay curve (UVXY, SQQQ, SDS, etc.). I did some basic math and these show a ratio of circa 2:3 in terms positive to negative trading weeks and they offer 1-4% premium on risk per week. So my idea is to sell only weekly covered calls (no puts) that are a little below price, maybe 5%. In the best case I will get called and then I would set up another buy-write. If I don't get called I might sell the underlying and switch to another ETF and repeat the above. Take UVXY for example (I am trading this ETF for a while now for other purposes)- covered calls should work well and what happens in the case of a crash? UVXY will get through the roof, I will be called, collect my time premium and can conveniently wait to sell long-term UVXY puts.
Picking up shares of ProShares UltraShort (SDS) and adding JPM Ultra Short Income (JPST) as FI (Fixed Income) yields continue to rise. Like Cardi B lyrics says, “If it’s up, then it’s up, then it’s up, then it’s stuck.” Until the Fed gets it unstuck easy money on the short end of the curve. #easymoney
Using TDS unironically, definitely full-on regarded. Is SDS if people don't like Taylor Swift? How about BDS for the folks that hate Biden? No? ah so only dear leader trump gets a special acronym to try and deflect from honest criticism of him being a sleazebag.
Jumped into SDS at $25.33, thinking S&P goes negative today in anticipation of CPI tomorrow
Any ETF that has similar exposure to the stocks SPY tracks are going to have similarly high prices unless you do leveraged or inversed leverage options (SPXU, SDS, SPXS). They're cheaper but also don't move as wildly unless there's a big event that affects SPY.
I found another big loser. SDS down big... oh wait thats the inverse S&P 500 ETF
Sorry my post may have been somewhat confusing for some judging from the DM’s. LLM is just a programming concept. HPC is the hardware (almost exclusively supermicro/nvidia GPU/Intel/mellanox IB) and the ecosystem (Linux/MPI stacks/ some type of parallel SDS) making it all work. That ecosystem is supported and developed by a vast array of open and closed source developers that are not employed by Nvidia. LLM is compiled and run on HPC’s. Currently all of that is optimized for Nvidia and has been for the last 10yrs+. That built-in, optimized infrastructure is not easily ported to a competing platform. It will take time, which is why I believe Nvidia continues to dominate for the next 5yrs.
I just need a few more bullish WSB posts and I’m liquidating everything and putting it all into SDS
The DOE just approved Oklo’s SDS for Aurora fuel fabrication. Seems like a positive first step: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240131031965/en/U.S.-DOE-Approves-the-Safety-Design-Strategy-for-the-Oklo-Aurora-Fuel-Fabrication-Facility
Inverse index fund ticker SH It will do the opposite off the s&p. or if your really sure SDS, it will do double the opposite of the s&p. Or if you are really really sure SPXU. It is a triple inverse. You can also buy all those on margin and increase your losses when your wrong
Quite true of the 3X inverse, but the less popular 2X inverse (SDS for S&P 500; QID for Nasdaq) show much less decay. I frequently use these to hedge (for several days out to a week or so ) against long positions in magnificent 7.
