Win as Financials Fall: Direxion Financial Bear 3X ETF

Direxion Financial Bear 3X Shares ETF (FAZ) — This highly leveraged Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) seeks to replicate, net of expenses, 300% of the inverse daily performance of the Russell 1000 Financial Services Index (RIFIN).

Despite being somewhat short on data, the fund appears capable of a bounce to $60-plus if the financial sector is hit hard again this week after a rally in anticipation of the Treasury Department’s new plan.

As with all speculative, high-risk ETFs, stops should always be entered in order to protect against a large loss and placing limit orders under the market is a wise method, too.

For example, a limit order to buy FAZ at $30.50 is more prudent than a market order.
