I haven't researched it.  Hadn't heard of it until you and Otter were discussing it last week.  I am trying to not add too many more new names.  We'll see how long that lasts. 

What I need is for tech to get hammered for real again, but this market is resilient.

Very small trades this morning.  Added a few shares to DG-ARKF  Sold a few SLV puts.

It's always about the timing.

I started investing in Feb 1998, having been out of college working since Aug 1996.  I started at my current company in July 1997.  Next year will be my 25th anniversary.

And you are very right about leverage getting wiped out in the dot com bust, had it existed then.  I've got the ROTH now almost at 50% leveraged/50% growth stocks, and next year I will start to de-leverage out of the taxable more too. I have a large % of my portfolio in TQQQ & its sibling etf TECL, so:

"I wanted to illustrate the effects of 3x leveraged funds depending on what date you start. I chose to backtest QQQ and test a hypothetical TQQQ (3x leveraged rebalanced daily).

• Start of the Dotcom Bust: A Hypothetical TQQQ would be completely obliterated if it was created prior to the Dotcom crash. As of 2020, it would still be -70% from its starting value."
