Since I can't do much in the way of meaningful trading within my measly 401K, I play the gold miners with NUGT and DUST.
Whenever there is a significant spike upwards (15 to 30% over the course of a few days) I will sell my NUGT and buy DUST. Wait
a few days for "them" to pull gold spot down, and then sell the DUST and reposition into NUGT. Started December with 19
shares of NUGT and have built that up to 120 after about five round trips as described above. Playing the volatility, since you know
any spike will get hammered back down again.
