And then you can simply look at a 7-year chart

I will ride DZZ down to 1,400-1,500 / oz... bought at 4/sh

Also, why worry about the volume on dzz? it correlates perfectly to gold spot, and the sponsor is solid
Absolutely agree - not that worried about the volume on DZZ, the low volume just makes the bid/ask spreads wider than I'd like (vice shorting GLD). I know that spreads aren't much compared to a ride if gold hits $1500/oz; but it's easier to manage P&L in a volatile market if you've got a bunch of people in the game; I can't watch it as religiously as I'd like with the day job.
