As for DGAZ, trading volume continues to remain huge, and looks set to just keep on increasing into the early spring. As with all 2x...and especially 3x leveraged instruments, holding across multiple weeks - never mind months, usually ends badly.

The multi-month gain in DGAZ - despite significant periodic drops, is a rare case of a leveraged instrument climbing across 3-4 months.
