Making Money with Nugt and Dust

How to Trade NUGT and DUST
Unlike stocks where you buy and hold and collect dividends. Nugt & Dust is something you buy and sell within weeks or months. Some traders even buy and sell within the same day. I hope you see the intensity of this ETF. We will focus on buying and selling within 1 to 2 months especially near or just after Fed Meetings. 

Understanding The Relationship
Between Nugt & Dust

DUST and NUGT was launched in 2010 by Direxion Investments. They do not track gold but rather tracks the index that tracks gold miners.

• Dust generally outperforms when the miners are not doing well or when gold prices drops. It aims to deliver triple the inverse of the daily price performance of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) Arca Gold Miners Index.
  
  
• Nugt is the opposite Dust. It looks to triple the return of the NYSEARCA Gold Miners Index on a daily basis. When Gold increases in price or when miners have good news, Nugt will spike.

Identifying The Pattern on How
Nugt & Dust Behaves During Fed Meetings

• 'Rate Hike' Meeting
  --> Dust High, Nugt Low
  --> Sell Dust, Buy Nugt
  
  After 'Rate Hike Meeting' 
  After the 'Rate Hike' meeting, Dust will generally drop from high to low in the following 5 weeks leading to the next Fed meeting while Nugt will slowly increase from low to high. It is a good time to buy Nugt during the first week after the rate hike meeting. 

• 'No Rate Hike' Meeting
  --> Dust Low, Nugt High
  --> Buy Dust, Sell Nugt
  
  After the No Rate Hike Meeting --> Buy Dust
  After the 'No Rate Hike' meeting, in anticipating of the next 'Rate Hike' Fed Meeting, Dust will gradually increase from low to high while Nugt will gradually drop from high to low.
