Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are AMZG and AMZU levered on the same thing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Both are levered on Amazon.com, AMZG at +2 times and AMZU at +2 times the daily move."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which one decays faster, AMZG or AMZU?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window AMZG\u2019s moved at 21% annualized and AMZU\u2019s at 41%, so AMZU has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I hold AMZG or AMZU 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, AMZG or AMZU?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"AMZG charges 0.75% a year and AMZU charges 0.99%, so AMZG is cheaper.
