Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are SKDD and SKUU levered on the same thing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Both are levered on SK hynix, SKDD at -2 times and SKUU at +2 times the daily move."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which one decays faster, SKDD or SKUU?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window SKDD\u2019s moved at 78% annualized and SKUU\u2019s at 78%, so SKDD has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I hold SKDD or SKUU for a year?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Both reset every day, so the multiple in the name applies to a single day, and daily results compound. Over a year the total is not the multiple times the year\u2019s move; after a fall and recovery it is lower."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which is cheaper, SKDD or SKUU?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"SKDD charges 2.20% a year and SKUU charges 1.50%, so SKUU is cheaper.
