Episode notes

The daily rebalancing funds are actually pretty interesting. There's a mathematical relationship between the return, the interest rate, and the volatility in these leverage funds. They get picked off by the prop desks at the banks and hedge funds every day. I don't recommend the use of leverage ETFs long term because they're not mechanically required to rebalance into down days. You can always beat them generally by using futures or something where rebaling is discretionary rather than where the rebalancing is forced.

Rebecca Hotsko chats with Logan Kane, who is an author and entrepreneur and is currently a writer for Seeking Alpha. Logan talks about the difference between tactics and strategies, his thoughts on how to be a better bull with IJR and IJH, his thoughts on how to be a better bear with VMSXX and VMFXX, and much more!
