DUST: Good For Volatility-Seekers, But Not An Investment
The Direxion Daily Gold Miners Index Bear 2X Shares ETF is designed for short-term traders to exploit gold price pullbacks, but not suitable for long-term bearish bets. The recent pullback in gold prices may be partly attributable to new production coming online from Artemis Gold's Blackwater property and Sierra Madre's Coloso project. Despite short-term pullbacks, I remain bullish on gold long-term and rate DUST as a Hold, suitable only for risk-seeking, short-term traders.

DUST: Inverse Exposure If Bearish On Gold Miners
Direxion Daily Gold Miners Index Bear 2X Shares ETF offers leveraged inverse exposure to gold miners, aiming for -200% daily returns of the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index. The DUST ETF uses swaps and futures contracts instead of owning gold mining stocks, making it suitable for short-term bets against gold miners. High fees and daily resets make DUST risky for long-term holds, but it can be a useful hedge or speculative tool for tactical traders.

Upside or Downside, There Are Opportunities in Gold Miners
Gold prices are up 13% for the year, but different market experts are forecasting varying scenarios for the precious metal moving forward. Nonetheless, whether prices head up or down and regardless of how it effects miners, traders can play the moves with leveraged exchange traded funds (ETFs).

DUST: Gold Overbought, But I Still Wouldn't Buy This ETF
Gold is overbought and may experience a sharp pullback, so investors may be tempted to consider trading the Direxion Daily Gold Miners Index Bear 2x Shares ETF. However, inverse ETFs like DUST suffer from volatility decay and are difficult to make money from, unless traders have perfect market timing abilities. Instead of DUST, investors should consider reducing their long holdings or buying put spreads as a hedge against a potential gold miners correction.
