ETF and Stock Recap for Wednesday 9/21/2022 capped by volatile last 2 hours before close - Some green for inverse ETFs (SPXS, SQQQ, SOXS, SPXU, SDOW, TZA). All red for stocks.
So tired of getting my fucked marking this NSFW. Thinking of buying a TZA $20 call with 1/19/24 expiration. No plan to hold long, but would scalp. Bad idea?
200SMA Crossover, Hold on to your butts!
Is holding shipping worth it (ZIM) or do I just go all in on leveraged etfs to ride the volatility?
Keep ZIM or all in on leveraged etfs?
Is it wiser to hedge downside risk with put options on an ETF, or Leveraged ETF, of the same index?
Am I retarded or could you just always bet on a crash and hold!

$IWM managed to close above its DT today but unable to stay above 223.25. This has been the defining pivot since July 13th and can be traced back to Feb 8th. The flows went from neutral to yesterday back to bearish today. Thus my position reaming that IWM is the weakest link in this market.
$IWM Russell Small Caps are still the weakest index. Not surprised to see a stampede of PUTS flying thru the tape all day! End of Day Flows, GEX and technical analysis on $IWM Tuesday 8/3
$TZA YOLO: a hedge against market correction
Mentions
SPX was 7000 at its pre-war peak and it closed at 6850 on Friday. Analysts are on hopium that a deal gets done. Were they so optimistic that we think $90 oil is the new $65? I am glad to have a USO and TZA position. I think SPX is at 6500 at EOY
It was pegged all day. Sus. TZA is telegraphing the market better at the moment.
You don't own TZA and it shows
Just YOLO on TZA and she’ll want you forever.
Inverse ETFs like QID, TZA etc and XLE energy ETFs have balanced out my losses so I’m not down for the year.
huh? I'm sitting on IWM puts and TZA and SQQQ calls. Just because your argument is goofy doesn't mean we are trading different sides dork.
I have a little of NYSEARCA: TZA I bought it mid February when the revised job numbers came out because somebody on here in the comments section suggested shorting the russell first i'm sure that commenter made significantly more money than I did.But thank you for the advice
TZA 3x leveraged Small Cap bear etf? Buy $7000 in this morning and jump ship this afternoon?? Hmm
I do Covered Calls on leveraged ETFs and it works very well for me. I'm actually shocked that many people don't do it. It requires a lot more activity and management. I do the management daily. I have plenty of time. It pays me more than my previous job and I love it. If you want to set and forget or do 30+DTEs, it won't work well. I have weekly expirations. I sell Covered Calls with anticipation that prices might drop, I take profits early by buying back and cashing out premiums, ... Etc. I trade both SOXL and SOXS, TQQQ and SQQQ, TNA and TZA, UVXY and SVIX, ... I love it.
I’m up, everything into SQQQ & TZA.
TZA is the largest gaining 3x short and will continue to be. The small caps will suffer the hardest from rising fuel costs.
If oil spikes above 100 per bbl, I'd guess strategic reserves would be released which in lessen severity if fear and such. If no release if reserves then yes significant inflation and small caps start going down. My TZA up. 👾 So, since I'm sitting on mostly TZA, the market won't dip as much as folks anticipate. Good.luck out there
I have developed a very unique trading strategy around Bull Bear ETFs such as TQQQ and SQQQ, TNA and TZA, SOXL and SOXS. That's all I trade. My strategy is purely mathematical. I buy Bull and Bear then I write covered calls against both, then I manage the premiums over time in specific intervals with predetermined exit Goals. I rinse and repeat. It allows me to trade weekly expirations, I don't need Charts and I don't care about earnings. Every week I win on either side I write my options Deep In The Money to capture as much premium as possible on pullbacks.
What trading strategy are you using? I have been trading a few tickers successfully recently. My strategy is simple. I buy the stock in groups of 25 at specified prices ( $5.90 and under). Once I have accumulated 100 shares, I sell a covered call into the next Friday. I trade TZA.
At the height of the global recession, TZA was worth $772,000 per share. Just buy some tizzy and hope for the worst!
TZA then a yacht to sail away.
I saw it. I watch TZA.
TZA up 5%. K shaped market.
Shoulda got puts or at least TZA
TZA and UVIX is likely to work out soonish, but who knows. I set my GTC sell orders in batches.
Buy TZA and UVIX rite meow, hold for a bit. NFA
TZA is the lowest it will be for the next three years
I was just about to buy 50 more July calls on TZA (3x bear Russell 2000 ETF), but instead of blowing that $3500 on a rigged system, I decided to buy a bike.
Did some crazy stupid stuff. $MEME $WILD $TQQQ $TZA (3x bearish) I’m nearly a year older and don’t do as many stupid things.
$TZA if the market goes red.
Just have TZA left now, hoping for more red, but definitely need to unload today
TO SELL, i periodically held through multiple bull runs and watched my bag go down (speculative bets like btc, etc, mstr etc) This time i didnt fuck up, i picked mstr up at like 100$ pre split, made a solid 4500% on it, bet on it going down and purchased SMST at 22$ and sold it at 76$ Purchased intel at 15$ sold it at 37 Bought ETHA around 15-22$ sold it also around 35-37$ Now im betting on a semi conductor slow down, current positions are in TZA, SOXS, UVIX and some calls on the vix 18$ End of Jan expiry. I think after christmas we see action in venezuala, japan rate hike on friday. (small position) Then im sitting on mostly cash and commodities (rio tinto, enbridge) "Hoping" for a small dip and entering into some safer positions for the long run. I learned alot from 2017-2025 and im finally learning to take profit and use it towards my home and debt & to execute capital when there is blood on the streets.
market gonna dump tomorrow i can tell from the after hours bear etfs getting loaded and lots of bonds when you see large TZA buys means we are going to have a bad day
I'm laying a TZA egg currently, did not think it would hit 52 weeks lows this week, it'll pop again, just set limit sell order for whatever and wait is my plan.
I am back. TZA please
And those projections don’t account for intra day volatility, so, not valid. All models are wrong, some are useful. Those are not useful because they miss a big part of the losses. You can see the dynamic play out in TZA. This is just basic math stuff.
SQQQ TECS TZA. Oh Yea I love money
TZA SOXS let's gooo
Went all in on the bear ETF TZA on Friday. I’m sitting happy.
Full port into TZA and BLSH $30p 12/19
Me too! The chart looks ripe TZA TZA TZA
I'm gonna legally change my name to TZA after the crash
I invested 10k into TZA, Burry ain't the only one putting money on the damn tree
>If you really go and short anything after hearing things like that then you definitely belong here I put 10% of my fortune on TZA, should I be concerned? I hate opportunity cost loss
Don’t say that! I got TZA calls expiring on Friday :(
I know people don’t like Bears, but a little outside Penny stock land is the TZA ETF, which profits when small cap stocks are down, might be beneficial to hold through the gov shutdown NFA
TZA is gonna do quite well
Same. Why loading shares into TZA in anticipation.

Look up $TZA. Tim Moore bought a lot of this recently, and he just so happens to sit on the House Financial Services committee.
Already have gold. Thinking about giving TZA another go hmm
Yesterday morning, I was thinking, we are in a bubble, and (nearly) full ported into the leveraged, small cap bear ETF TZA. I’m a happy man right now. Unfortunately this is only for my small degenerate account. My grown up portfolio is heavy in AAPL…
I did something right and went all in on the TZA bear ETF first thing this morning.
Not today! TZA was the only thing up today. Looks like SOMEONE knew what was coming.
HE JUST SMASHED IT! So when Tim put money on TZA, I put $100, just to see what happened. ALL of my stocks and cryptos went down HARD today (currently rebounding) -- but GUESS what for TZA? Went up, a lot. Well well well. So I sold. :) Thanks Tim, I guess.
Opening TZA calls hell naw it’s red today
This is where I'm at. Trump and the team are creating an oligarchy. The lower and middle classes might collapse but the market should continue on fine. If I were OP I'd maybe short medium and small businesses with something like TZA.
massive day for small caps congress person Tim Moore absolutely massacres on his TZA position
I’m just happy to know that one congress guy is getting boned on those TZA calls so far
Tim Moore is making a fuckton off TZA rn
TZA Short Cap Bear 3x anyone?
Member of the house financial services committee just spent 250k on $TZA, daily small cap bear 3x ETF. Congress thinks we’re cooked.
A member of the house committee for financial services just disclosed a buy in TZA, a 3x bear small cap ETF. Fuckkkk
I keep a bunch of TZA, buy little bits at a time when market is all time high, inverse market fund
Yes - it's inefficient on a few levels which I explained to someone else. Most traders would simply use a synthetic short future by writing calls and buying puts to generate a collar. A collar would also be more margin efficient. But using TZA is a simple solution if someone doesn't understand options or if they don't use margin. And using TZA avoids IRC 1259 rules.
Bought TZA this morning on a whim. Should be interesting.
lmao, what's your point, dude? he still has TNA exposure and TZA is an obvious hedge against it......I think you're looking ***way*** too far into some random congressman's small cap equity hedging strategy
Well... sorta... it may not necessarily be the best way to do it. The expense in TZA may not be the most efficient. I would imagine that many people would use an actual synthetic short future to create a collar position instead. And a collar may be more margin efficient since brokers are not likely to cross-margin TNA and TZA.
It's funny cause "TZA" made me think of RZA and GZA of Wu-Tang.
Where did you see that he sold his shares of TZA? From what I found, he sold TNA on June 8th
Looking into the disclosure filings, it appears that Moore sold short up to $250,000 of TZA (the 3x short fund in question) on July 16, and then proceeded to close the position over the following weeks, from July 18 to August 29. There were no purchases of TZA disclosed prior to the July 16 sale, which is why I think it may have been a short sale. Additionally, Moore has disclosed purchases of TNA, which is a 3x long fund, throughout the calendar year thus far, and he has not disclosed any sales of it. The two funds are opposing, so it makes no sense to hold both simultaneously, but it would be congruous to both hold one and short the other.
You weren't kidding. If Nancy or someone had bought TZA I'd be seriously worried but this guy is clearly just fucking around.
But more recently he's been buying more TZA and no more TNA.
Bad news= buy TZA good news= buy TNA
Inverse 3x leverage is basically /r/wallstreetbets material. You're trying to time a drop in the market with very narrow margins of error. Unless you know something, it's a long shot at best. Lately prices seem to be almost impervious to reality -- everything goes up in spite of bad news, even it's already overpriced. And we all know timing the market is a fool's errand. So, how is this guy doing? Apparently he bought at the end of June when the price was around 11.80, and the price now is around $9. He's down something like 20% or 25%. He needs the price of TZA to rise by ~30% to break even, and in order for that to happen the price of small caps needs to drop by something like 10%. That's not entirely unreasonable. Small caps were down ~20% YTD in early April this year, but have since recovered and are up ~5% YTD. If small caps were to drop 20% again, and he is able to correctly time the market so he sells TZA before the market recovers, this guy will make money. Small caps certainly could drop again since job growth is slowing, and we could face increasing impact from tariffs, and there's a potential government shutdown by the end of the month. But, the tariffs may be delayed again or get shot down in court, and congress usually passes a budget after the customary pissing match. The market could just keep going up, in which case this guy loses big time. Or the market could just move sideways. That doesn't sound so bad, but holding a leveraged ETF for a long period of time waiting for the market to move means he loses to price decay. In short, this is more a gamble than an investment. If you can stomach losing money if you're wrong, it might be worth throwing some money at just because *maybe* that politician really does know something. Me personally? I suspect the current administration will do everything in their power to prop up the market until midterm elections. They're already trying influence the fed to goose the economy. It won't work forever, but I'd probably run out of money before that scheme fails, so this bet isn't for me.
He bought a bunch of TNA (the bull version of the same ETF) in early July, sold it in mid July, bought some more after that, hasn't sold it yet, but also started buying TZA in late August. I wish we had more information on his track record as a trader, but he only started in Congress in 2025. I'm going to put a little into TZA though.
So uh... asking on behalf of a shit ton of foreigners: would this then be a good time to buy TZA ?
Go with TZA 3x bear on small caps
Why is Republican representative Tim Moore from NC using $215k of his money on a 3x leverage bear bet trash instrument like TZA. Does he have a gambling problem? Took bad advice from a buddy? Knows something's brewing and 99% likely to create a sharp stock drop? We're going into a seasonal rough patch and stocks do tend to sell and spec traders derisk but this isn't a name to buy for that or bet such a huge sum.
If you didn’t BUY TZA calls 30 minutes ago this is your last chance.
sell OTM puts on it instead. Same with TZA.
Looks like a great time to buy TZA calls, thank you for your attention to this matter.
Buddy, just admit you know nothing about leveraged ETFs. This isn't just limited to TZA. They work exactly as designed, as a hedge for large funds to protect their downside against intraday risk, then to be sold. Stick to your GME.
Just looked up who is running the ETF… TZA is by Direxion, they’re super up and up. There’s no built in loss component that you’re alluding to. It’s fees to get the leverage. Throw the prospectus through ChatGPT or any other LLM of your choice and ask it to explain why long term holding results in losses even if the market is sideways; ask it to explain the trading fees; ask it to explain the fees to the fund in order to achieve the desired level of leverage etc etc. Also, for what it’s worth, options leverages are 100x on the index, which makes the 3x leverage seem not so greedy after all… but if you don’t fully understand the TZA vehicle already, it is likely far too risky to try to leverage with options.
I remember during Covid (the only time the market has went down over the last 15 years,) and TZA actually went up, but then the market went up for a day after going down for 4 days and all the gains were wiped out even though the market crashed. Then of course the market crash was erased by a massive bull run that is still running. If the market ever crashed 10% a day for about 400 days in row, TZA would go back to where it was during the Covid crash. But, if during those 400 days, if the market went up 0.01%, it would wipe out all the TZA gains. That's why you should never buy an inverse leveraged fund.
Someone on another forum about the ETF said (recently): "TZA is a scam. Intraday trading only. Once you hold it over night, you continually lose even as the indexes slowly dip, but TZA price erode as index goes back up ever so slightly. The only time TZA will give you a big win is on a -4-5% limit down day."
No ceasefire, dump incoming, loading TZA for Monday scalp. Play both sides, follow the news. Shorts are loading. LFG! 🚀💲
You can also buy Put LEAPS. I mean buying an ITM Put on say IWM will not lose you just have to plan to exit when you make a certain amount and wait to buy again. Every time I’ve done this and sold the front month Put I’ve pretty much barely made any money worrying about protecting my downside it’s not worth the street. I sold some TZA and SQQQ puts, safer way to play and QQQ Puts
Loading up on TZA, should run, uncertainty, P*TIN - TR*MP, tariffs and small cap slow downs, big play. 🚀💲🚀💲 #lfg
That's why I bought TZA calls yesterday. Fraud and bullshit halo only extends to Mag7 and SPY.
