After plunging as low as $9.27, resulting in a 26% loss, the JNUG price ran up to $11.87, temporarily putting the entire position in the black.
By the end of the day price had dropped to $10.88, resulting in a small overall loss for the investment through yesterday.
Today the price action of the JNUG ETF was just as wild. The price opened the day at $10.70 and fell down as low as $9.50. At one point in the day it stood at $11.27 before finally finishing in after hours trading at $9.99. So, at this point my position is down 11.23% after being down over 26% during the day yesterday.
At this point, I’m starting to feel a bit like a knife catcher…

But, you may be wondering, how did I get into this trade in the first place?
Well, JNUG is something I have been watching for some time. One place I first noticed some posts about the JNUG ETF was The Daily Gold. It seemed intriguing, so I posted about it over at the gold and silver community where I am one of the moderators.
Over time my thinking on JNUG began to evolve from looking at the investment through the lens of Point and Figure Charting to viewing it from the perspective of price cycles.
Part of the reason the wild price swings of the JNUG ETF haven’t driven me to drink yet are some things I discovered about the JNUG price cycles and a technique to project pivot high and low prices.
