The dividend shuffle game?

[fenders53]

This is worth doing Ken. Pull up a one month chart of TQQQ and add TMF as a comparison stock. See how it might be tempting for a trader to attempt to flip back and forth? In a paired trade last month they are both positive, but it takes the daily volatility out when TQQQ has a particularly big move. Works about the same with QQQ/TLT. You can't see the point in a long-term chart. Now look at ten years. The bond fund is chugging along paying you a 2 or 5% yield over the long-term unless rates make a big move. QQQ is blowing TLT away as a long-term hold in a strong bull market obviously. Graphically you can't see how it would be beneficial in a pair over a longer term, but it is if you are using rules and trading in and out of QQQ, or at least adjusting the ratio of QQQ vs the long-term bond fund.
