Cheap(er) way to play oil

Finally, CRUDE OIL is taking a breather. Will it last? who knows. What we do know is a decent way to play the possible decline.

You will see in the first chart highlighted below, DUG is the Ultra Long Oil ETF.

Ultra ETF'S have a 2:1 ratio of the underlying index or sector (issued by proshares.com).




The second chart shows DUG, the ultra short. By going long DUG you will save yourself about 300% instead of shorting (or buying puts) on DIG at 110ish.




Sounds confusing but the DIG-DUG trade looks prime for profits.

I enjoyed your analysis on DIG and DUG but was wondering if you could clarify the "saving 300 percent" comment.
