Opening Long SCO (2x Short Crude)

I believe SCO is an ETF rather than an ETN, which I believe (however I'm not an accountant and this isn't tax advice) is treated differently as far as taxes go (the ETN I mean).

In any case, SCO has a lot more liquidity. The asset never moved with enough momentum for me to consider an options play. As of now the positive divergence doesn't go much beyond 5 mins so I expect this to be a trading position.

However I think this can still be a worthwhile trade, just remember with this volatility everything long right now is speculative and you need to be able to close the position fast if need be.
