JDST is a bear fund, so when gold goes down, JDST goes up.  Since Feb. 2015, gold has dropped from 1280 to 1175 with some deeper drops in between.  This JDST was PUT to me on Friday April 17 from a PUT that I sold back on Feb. 25, 2015 for $1.65.  If I get called out at $9, I will have earned $1.65 + $1.25 from the two option premiums.  This is a 32% return on these JDST shares from Feb. 25, 2015.

Look at these two charts to see the negative price correlation between gold and JDST.
