Judging from your DUST chart, this is s highly leveraged ETF? The massive devaluation on a 30% rise in gold shows the danger of investing in these black box ETF. Another way of looking at it is not to try and pick the bottom of a down trend Including gold. Plenty who tried fell along the way and it was only through sheer luck were able to capitalize on recent rally either directly or indirectly.

You could also comment on those who were busy shorting the equity indices this year and each and every year post GFC. Neither did work profitably unless very proactive trade management.
