For Your Information:
During the Bear Market from November 2007 to March 2009:
(Above the upper trend line)
QID - Phase II Trading Days = 193
QLD - Phase II Trading Days = 162
(Below the upper trend line)
QID - Phase I Trading Days = 204
QLD - Phase I Trading Days = 215
During the Bull Market from April 2009 to Present:
(Above the upper trend line)
QID - Phase II Trading Days = 70
QLD - Phase II Trading Days = 171
(Below the upper trend line)
QID - Phase I Trading Days = 178
QLD - Phase I Trading Days = 63
So in a Bear Market QLD still performs well compared to QID, however in a Bull Market QLD blows QID away. If this pattern continues QID price will be at or close to zero (unless a reverse split is declared) within a couple years, unless a new Bear market kicks in.
