The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Thanks, Aussi.

Somewhere back in the days I remember seeing a strategy that said if you could short the combination of leveraged ETFs (eg, short both TQQQ and SQQQ), taht you would be market neutral but the percentage ratchet of each day would grind money out each year. I want to test this out on GTR1, but alas my skills are not that great (though it should be a relatively easy one to do).

As I seem to recall, the idea is to short equivalent dollar amounts of TQQQ and SQQQ and hold for a year (the best I can do on stock charts is the ratio of them).
