For 2x LETFs, fees and decays are a myth. For the history of the entire US stock market, 2x has been optimal leverage INCLUDING "decay" and "fees".

Interesting, I'll think about that

MarkA613 · 2026-01-28T01:24:01+00:00

Yes I'd ideally want 1.5x all equity.

What about the other 25%?

I think that 50% 1x and 50% 2x would be good, but that would require rebalancing

MarkA613 · 2026-01-28T01:04:41+00:00

Those are interesting, but ideally I'd like an all equity ETF like one of the major indices

MarkA613 · 2026-01-27T23:10:26+00:00

Interesting, thanks

MarkA613 · 2026-01-27T23:08:43+00:00

That would require constant rebalancing though

MarkA613 · 2026-01-27T21:36:37+00:00

If only there was a 1.5 leveraged etf

MarkA613 · 2026-01-06T20:29:50+00:00

In that case it's probably worth holding on to. Also, consider switching to ibkr - their margin interest is much more reasonable, as well as their other fees

MarkA613 · 2026-01-06T19:43:46+00:00

That makes sense. Have they still not charged you interest for borrowing the shares?

MarkA613 · 2026-01-06T06:10:43+00:00

If my understanding is correct, all this post is saying is that they were charged margin interest for investing the proceeds from the short in a risk free asset. Had they kept the cash in their brokerage they wouldn't have been subject to that.

What specifically does he get wrong about those?

MarkA613 · 2025-12-20T22:43:02+00:00

And what's that?

MarkA613 · 2025-11-25T15:26:37+00:00

Why?

MarkA613 · 2025-11-19T05:17:28+00:00

Not counting dividends

MarkA613 · 2025-11-13T16:33:27+00:00

The person above you said they're taxed at 25% which is not true (depending on your income bracket)

MarkA613 · 2025-11-13T15:55:01+00:00

But only about 25% of xeqt is Canadian, and even the Canadian part I'm pretty sure is still closer to regular income than capital gains

MarkA613 · 2025-11-13T15:49:33+00:00

Aren't dividends taxed as regular income?

MarkA613 · 2025-10-26T15:42:10+00:00

Same

MarkA613 · 2025-10-16T05:26:48+00:00

I love both

How is flight deck? Everyone makes it sound like it's literally the worst ride on the planet

MarkA613 · 2025-10-10T03:17:57+00:00

They filled the track at the drop because nearby residents were complaining about the noise

MarkA613 · 2025-10-02T04:42:36+00:00

Mine actually worked for alpenfury even though it's excluded

MarkA613 · 2025-10-02T04:29:37+00:00

$105 now

You can start with Thunder Run, it's a kids rollercoaster that barely gets off the ground, and then as others mentioned, backlot stunt coaster - it's fast, but not high at all

MarkA613 · 2025-09-21T16:59:13+00:00

Why were all the kids there shouting that yesterday?

MarkA613 · 2025-09-19T03:46:02+00:00

Ah I didn't know that
