What would a good ETF/fund be to balance TQQQ?

[Saltynuts]

pricing supplement for the VelocitySahres 3X Long Crude Oil ETN (UWT):

“If the Intraday Indicative Value of any series of ETNs at any time during NYSE Arca trading hours and at or prior to the Settlement Time on any scheduled Index Business Day is less than 25% of the Closing Indicative Value of such ETNs on the immediately preceding Index Business Day (meaning that the Intraday Indicative Value has declined by more than 75% from the prior day’s Closing Indicative Value) (such event, a “Trigger Event”), such series of ETNs will be automatically accelerated (an “Automatic Acceleration”) and the holders of such ETNs will receive a cash payment per ETN equal to the Automatic Acceleration Redemption Amount on the Automatic Acceleration Date.”

Thanks! Isn't that saying basically if the ETF drops by 75% or more than you are going to get cashed out at the value it dropped to? I'd be OK with that in the TQQQ context as least, never going to drop 75% in one day, that would mean QQQ dropped like 25% in one day. If that happens EVERYONE is in trouble, not just holders of TQQQ. I was wondering if it ever happened when the ETF sponsor, in this example, owes you the $25 bucks after your $100 investment crashes on a 75% down day, but can't pay you the $25 so you get shorted. Don't think that has ever happened.

And remember, I only have [10%] of my account starting out in TQQQ, so when QQQ drops 25% I'm still down less than [10%] vis-a-vis my original account balance (assuming I put the other [90%] in short-term bond funds, for example, looking for alternatives, hence this thread). You have 100% in QQQ, so you are down 25%. Its these GIANT logarithmic returns that, along as you can stomach big drawdowns to your FUTURE EXTRA HIGH account balance, allows one to kick so much a$$. Start small to avoid big drawdowns, let that compound, grow rich....

QQQ can balance TQQQ. Short QQQ and long TQQQ. Market makers profit

You'd want to do the opposite.

You would actually get pretty good returns shorting TQQQ and going long QQQ. You'd even get a negative beta, meaning this could be a good hedge.

Suicide strategy.
If you set 50%|50%, blow up account for nearly 100% probability.

LOL market makers profit on tqqq/profit;
turned out right on this year/\ espcially if profit targets were aiming for for more than market makers profit.
QLD pays a dividend, most likely not as good as market makers yearly profit

ZF 5yr T-Note futures could do it with TQQQ

Nice notagain. Can I test that on yahoo finance? Historical data looks like it goes back to 2000 so it looks like I can. Will follow up!!!
