ETHU: A Strategy With A Compelling Reward-To-Risk Ratio For Ethereum

Ethereum offers high long-term reward potential, but I am mostly neutral for the short-term, because it seems to be in a consolidation pattern. ETHU's daily 2x leverage leads to massive long-term underperformance versus spot ETH, due to contango, volatility and high fees. A high-reward, lower-risk options strategy is proposed: sell a high-IV short-term Call and buy a lower-IV long-term Call, with ~5.7x max reward/max risk ratio.
