Neither figure predicts the next window: it depends on how much the underlying moves about."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Are TSMX and TSMZ levered on the same thing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. Both are levered on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, TSMX at +2 times and TSMZ at -1 times the daily move."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which one decays faster, TSMX or TSMZ?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Decay follows how much the underlying moves about. Over this window TSMX\u2019s moved at 34% annualized and TSMZ\u2019s at 34%, so TSMX has the rougher ride and, at the same multiple, loses more to compounding."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can I hold TSMX or TSMZ 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, TSMX or TSMZ?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"TSMX charges 0.99% a year and TSMZ charges 1.01%, so TSMX is cheaper.
