Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are ETHU and ETU levered on the same thing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Both are levered on ether, ETHU at +2 times and ETU at +2 times the daily move."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which one decays faster, ETHU or ETU?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window ETHU\u2019s moved at 48% annualized and ETU\u2019s at 48%, so ETHU has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I hold ETHU or ETU 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, ETHU or ETU?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"ETHU charges 2.97% a year and ETU charges 0.95%, so ETU is cheaper.
