Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are GGLS and GOU levered on the same thing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Both are levered on Alphabet, GGLS at -1 times and GOU at +2 times the daily move."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which one decays faster, GGLS or GOU?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window GGLS\u2019s moved at 34% annualized and GOU\u2019s at 34%, so GGLS has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I hold GGLS or GOU 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, GGLS or GOU?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"GGLS charges 1.02% a year and GOU charges 1.15%, so GGLS is cheaper. Fees come from each fund's prospectus."}}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"ETFIQ","item":"https://etfiq.com/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Leveraged ETFs","item":"https://etfiq.com/leverage/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"GGLS vs GOU","item":"https://etfiq.com/compare/leverage/ggls-vs-gou"}]},{"@type":"WebPage","name":"GGLS vs GOU: which held to its multiple?","description":"GGLS sets out to return -1 times GOOGL each day and GOU +2 times.
