Why Inverse ETFs Fail Over Long Time Frames

Thursday, May 7, 2020

The Kelly Letter uses leveraged long ETFs in two of its plans.

This 10-min discussion with charts covering three different time frames makes the case.

      Thank you, Ignacio, and I am thoroughly impressed that you recognized my Visconti! You are correct. I love that pen. Did you know it’s made from lava rock?

    Jason..

    Outstanding! Complete with your understandable explanation and rationale with charts that really made so much sense when comparing the different time frames.

    Thank you.

    Jason,

    I am in TQQQ and up 27%. I do not understand what this is telling me to do. Hold it until 2022?

      Tom,

      Do nothing until the next quarterly signal at the end of June. Meantime, enjoy your accruing gains!
