Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are ADBG and ADBU levered on the same thing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Both are levered on Adobe, ADBG at +2 times and ADBU at +2 times the daily move."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which one decays faster, ADBG or ADBU?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window ADBG\u2019s moved at 48% annualized and ADBU\u2019s at 48%, so ADBG has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I hold ADBG or ADBU for a year?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"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\u2019s move, and in a market that falls and comes back it is reliably less. ETFIQ makes no recommendation either way."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which is cheaper, ADBG or ADBU?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"ADBG charges 0.77% a year and ADBU charges 0.97%, so ADBG is cheaper.
