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.

Hold only one ETF.
Hold QLD when the signal is BUY.
Hold QID when the signal is SELL.

I downloaded closing prices for QLD and QID, and calculated the same gains Zeelotes posted:

                                        calc   close  close
Date Signal P %G/L buyThis gain QLD QID
1/5/2022 BUY L 1.63% QLD 1.63% 82.75 16.67
1/12/2022 SELL S 8.80% QID 8.80% 84.09 16.34
1/18/2022 BUY L -4.40% QLD -4.40% 76.87 17.78
1/31/2022 SELL S 13.34% QID 13.34% 73.49 18.33
2/22/2022 BUY L 5.21% QLD 5.21% 63.18 20.78
2/28/2022 SELL S 13.63% QID 13.63% 66.47 19.56
3/7/2022 58.04 22.23


Either hold QLD or QID. For example,
buy QLD on Jan 5th at 82.75
sell QLD on Jan 12th at 84.09
gain was 1.63%
