Question about $SSPC: how does it work?

As many of you know, it's something like a "2x Short SPCX Daily ETF" . I was looking at it, and noticed that if $SPCX was down x%, $SSPC was up 2*x%, almost exactly. How are they able to achieve this? I'm just wondering what the mechanics of this fund are. And if one were bearish on $SPCX and buy $SSPC, is it safe to hold it for a period of time (months)? Or should one get in/out every day, since the name says "Daily". submitted by /u/siskyouthrowaway [link] [comments]

How to really execute the core and satellite strategy?

I’ve been researching the core-and-satellite investment strategy and feel it aligns well with my risk tolerance.

Has anyone else become “addicted” to investing?

I’m 21 in college with a paid year long internship, and bc of scholarships I’ve been very lucky with avoiding any college costs and loan debt for the future. Because of this, I almost invest ALL of the money I make from my internship into individual stocks and index funds. Of course I’ll eat out and spend some money every now and then, but I’d say that’s less than 1% of where my money goes to. I even get these sudden urges to pull hundreds and even thousands out my checkings and transferring it
