Where did you find out that is going to happen? I need to start paying attention to this stuff, but I'm not sure where to get that info. Thanks for the heads up!

I just googled it real quick and found this:
Direxion Announces Reverse and Forward Share Splits of 16 ETFs (3/15/2013) | Direxion

But I believe originally I was looking at charts in Optionshouse and saw the news headline, probably around March 15th or 16th when they announced it.

Edit: looks like 4:1 on TZA and 1:2 on TNA

1-for-4 reverse split on TZA...so one share is turning into four shares or four shares are turning into one share? It's one thing to have a ratio, but then to say reverse split makes me confused lol.

4 shares turn into 1. My understanding is that any excess shares (the remainder after dividing by 4) are sold ...?

I agree the wording is confusing. I think what they are trying to do here is consolidate all their funds to a similar price. So it would make sense to quadruple TZA up to the $40 range and then half TNA down to there as well.

If you "split" a share, you cut the price in half to make 2 shares. If you reverse split, you are doubling the price and consolidating shares. The ratios do appear to be backwards to me though...

Understood. Thanks man!

You are hedging your bet that US markets may drop while over sea's markets will pop. Looks like a 50/50 chance to make a gain.

I might have grabbed F a month too early based on seasonality, but it should turn out well if the US markets are topped out and trend lower from here.

The "I" play could just be for a short term bounce if it scores big quickly, but I think there is more potential there mid-term than C or S.

I'm still holding the F fund in my TSP. I'm looking for a jump into the S fund, but I think we are poised for a pullback. We will see how the job numbers are this week.
