    I remember learning in Finance 301 that IPOs consistently underperform the markets in the first year, then they loosely follow the general market after that.

    I learned that one, bought at 4.24 yesterday and sold 4.72 this morning. Jumped out a little to earlier but made a great 1 day profit.

    For a bit. Yet even if you got in at 45 eight years ago, a 5x gain in eight years isn't too awful.

    So I was discussing $NAIL at work and how the 3x ETF works and it's not possible for it to return to $90 when the shares recover, because they are recovering too fast to take advantage of the 3x leverage. My math has it maxing out at around $40
    Here is why I believe the maximum possible upside is a price of close to $40. The reason? The underlying shares have recovered too damn fast. Because the leverage is 3x the daily return, you get a cumulative benefit for each + day and a 3x negative for a negative day. Well, the underlying assets have recovered about 5/6th of their precovid value. For example DHI Was $61 and is now $55. DHI represents 8.71% of NAIL's return. If DHI Gapped tomorrow straight to $61, a $5 gain in 1 day then $NAIL would benefit 0.0871*(3x5)=a pure increase of $1.3065 for $NAIL. If it took 2 days for that recovery it would be 2x the 3x benefit. It took from 2/11/19 to 11/25/19 to go from $40 to $55. Over that time NAIL went from $36 to $71. This 2x of $NAIL is reflected in the same gap price jump from 4/24 to 6/2 DHI Went from 40 to 55 and NAIL went from $14 to $28. There simply aren't enough + recovery days (think of compound interest) to get this asset to $90 in this rapid of a recovery. I have the actual ceiling coming in just shy of $40 maximum price once the underlying assets recover.....
    This is great news if you bought at $10 and want a 4x bagger...

    This is just what I worked out on an excel spreadsheet...plugging and chugging with # of intervals and price increases...

    Soooo, what about a cap for NRGU?

    I'm thinking $35 off the cuff and no spreadsheet.

    It actually STRONGLY benefits from a sloooooow but + recovery of oil companies...Ideally you want $0.02 a day for 2 years on the underlying assets...That increase is exponentially better...So right now based on the slow recovery of the Big 10 oil stocks...NRGU has a LOT more upside than NAIL...

    NRGU?

    Also, I'm looking at CCXX for long term.

    The upside on NRGU is only limited by the number of intervals (trading days) until it maxes out...and then the losses kill you at 3x...NAIL is far closer to the underlying assets maxing out...However if they asymptotically slow as the approach the max but don't dip...you can still make money. Just that $90 isn't realistic in the time frame.
    Here is a 12/2018 NAIL vs the Top 3 underlying assets so you can see the slow slope to +200% return over the underlying assets...It took 2 years...
    This link should work to take a look...

    NOT decay, not enough daily compounding intervals between now and max price of underlying assets.

    saaaaame thing, plus if you try to trade an ETF that has choppy movement, you are even more screwed. Do up 5% and down 5% every other day and it's not gonna look good

    If i pull out of DKNG, it will all go into NRGU .

    I'm looking at CCXX for the very near future.

    How is the bid/ask spread with instruments like this? Does that screw you when you can't sell at the actual quoted price?
