  {
   "q": "Did NUGT return +2 times GDX?",
   "a": "Over the window to Sep 11, 2026, GDX moved +21.3% and NUGT returned +36.7%. 2 times that move is +42.7%, so the fund came out 5.9 points short of it."
  },
  {
   "q": "Why does NUGT not return +2 times over a year?",
   "a": "Because it resets daily. NUGT aims at +2 times each day's move, and daily results compound. Over a run where the underlying falls and comes back, compounding a levered daily return leaves a holder behind what +2 times the period move would suggest; over a steady run in one direction it can leave them ahead. The longer the holding, and the more the underlying moves about, the further apart the two figures get."
