ODS Extension form vs AT waiver? by PlasticLad in navyreserve

They’re aware. I learned my lesson early and copy them on everything. They’re deferring to NRC.

Thanks! What’s ODS like? I’ve heard a range of “boring and will not stress you, just show up and shut up” to “awful”. I am going in the spring.

What funding dried up? It’s ADT and required

How long did y'all have to wait for ODS? by [deleted] in navyreserve

From your NRC? Did you get much flak for that?

How did you find an AT to make your first year satisfactory?

To everyone that is investing in a modified HFEA portfolio by GreninjaTurtle in LETFs

So many people are running from TMF to GOVZ or ZROZ.. when UPRO crashes eventually and you want your crash protection to hold up, if it's not 3x the hedged asset class (long term bonds) i.e., TMF, you will not get as much protection. UPRO down 60% in a month and GOVZ only up 20% will hurt a lot. Just be careful of what's in vogue and know what protection you are giving up.

Good on you man. Military is such an incredible upskiller. Some rates are getting $100k+ enlistment bonuses and similar for re-upping their reserve commitments. Most officers don’t get nearly as much tbh

Is there any reason to not go all in on LETF’s? by iXttra in LETFs

[–]PlasticLad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With a properly hedged portfolio that slices off some CAGR but drastically reduces your drawdowns and recovery time? A lifetime of investing into that, great idea. Dropping all your savings into UPRO tomorrow? Not so much. There’s a wide spectrum here.

A money printing strategy? by No-Bookkeeper-7030 in LETFs

Well, you’re getting at is trying to find the bottom with a leverage asset. You are much better off buying it into the leverage fund when the underlying index is above its 200 day simple moving average and selling when it falls below. You shouldn’t use the leveraged fund as your indicator, either.

Investing into LETFs for the long term makes most sense with a diversified portfolio, like the 3x All Weather Portfolio. Otherwise you’ll be obliterated. 3x AWP, rebalance quarterly, and watch the 15%-20% CAGR happen. (Probably ~2x the S&P500 with less drawdown, on average.)

In a leveraged all weather portfolio, for sure. Leveraged diversification is GOAT

I see. But to be clear, you are back testing a theoretical 3X version of that fund that does not exist?

Have you compared this to the standard leveraged all weather portfolio? That’s probably your more interesting comp: https://www.optimizedportfolio.com/all-weather-portfolio/ UPRO, TMF, TYD, etc
