Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are RGTX and RGTZ levered on the same thing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Both are levered on Rigetti Computing, RGTX at +2 times and RGTZ at -2 times the daily move."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which one decays faster, RGTX or RGTZ?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window RGTX\u2019s moved at 78% annualized and RGTZ\u2019s at 78%, so RGTX has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I hold RGTX or RGTZ 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, RGTX or RGTZ?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"RGTX charges 1.56% a year and RGTZ charges 1.83%, so RGTX is cheaper.
