  },
  {
   "q": "Why does STLU not return +2 times over a year?",
   "a": "Because it resets daily. STLU aims at +2 times each day's move, and daily results compound. If the underlying falls and recovers, a holder ends up behind +2 times the period move; in a steady run in one direction, possibly ahead. The longer the holding and the more the underlying swings, the wider the gap."
