TSDD in plain words

Three months to Sep 11, 2026: TSDD returned −0.6% where its own daily promise gave −1.7%, 1.0 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times TSLA's −10.1% implies +20.2%, which makes TSDD look 20.8 points short. 21.9 of that is daily compounding, which happens to any −2 times fund over the same path, and the rest is the fund. TSDD aims to return -2 times TSLA's move each day, then resets. Over one day it does that. Over longer, the daily results compound, so the total is not -2 times the period's move: in a market that falls and comes back it is reliably less, and in a steady run it can be more. TSLA moved at 56% annualized over that window. That is what decides how far the two figures separate: the same fund on a calm underlying and a violent one is a different product.

TSLQ in plain words

Three months to Sep 11, 2026: TSLQ returned +0.2% where its own daily promise gave −1.7%, 1.9 points over. Read the multiple against the whole window instead and −2 times TSLA's −10.1% implies +20.2%, which makes TSLQ look 20.0 points short. TSLQ aims to return -2 times TSLA's move each day, then resets.

Questions people ask

Which came closer to its stated multiple, TSDD or TSLQ?
Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, TSDD finished 20.8 points from what its multiple implies and TSLQ finished 20.0 points from its own, so TSLQ came closer. Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about.
Are TSDD and TSLQ levered on the same thing?
Yes. Both are levered on Tesla, TSDD at -2 times and TSLQ at -2 times the daily move.
Which one decays faster, TSDD or TSLQ?
Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window TSDD’s moved at 56% annualized and TSLQ’s at 56%, so TSDD has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding.
Can I hold TSDD or TSLQ for a year?
Both reset every day, so the multiple in the name applies to a single day and the daily results compound. Over a year the total is not the multiple times the year’s move, and in a market that falls and comes back it is reliably less. ETFIQ makes no recommendation either way.
Which is cheaper, TSDD or TSLQ?
TSDD charges 0.95% a year and TSLQ charges 1.15%, so TSDD is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus.
