KanawatTH Ticketplus Ltd. ( TP ) filed for an IPO in the U.S. The Cayman Islands–based technology company provides the underlying smart-ticketing infrastructure for live events across Latin America, operating a proprietary full-stack platform that spans event discovery, primary ticketing, access control, payments, analytics, and post-event insights. The company was founded in Chile in 2014 and has since grown from its home market into an 11-country footprint across North and South America, combining a full-operations model in Chile with a white-label SaaS model through which local ticketing companies, venues, promoters, and sports organizations run on Ticketplus technology under their brands. In its F-1 filing, the company positioned itself as a specialist in "smart ticketing," emphasizing cloud-based, mobile-first ticketing, QR/NFC validation, multi-channel payments, and AI-driven demand forecasting in markets where global incumbents face structural and regulatory frictions. Following the IPO, Ticketplus ( TP ) will remain a controlled company under Nasdaq rules, with chair Yethro Dinamarca Santelices holding about 76.1% of voting power pre-offering and retaining control after the IPO. Ticketplus ( TP ) disclosed that revenue rose 64% year over year to $29.5M in 2025, from $18.0M in 2024, driven by higher ticketing volumes across its 11-country network. The platform processed gross merchandise value of $268.9M in 2025 versus $191.2M in 2024, heavily weighted to the higher-take-rate full-operations model in Chile, which accounted for 94.3% of 2025 revenue. Net profit more than doubled to $2.24M in 2025. Looking ahead, Tickeplus ( TP ) says its growth plans center on consolidating the fragmented Latin American ticketing market, international expansion, and product innovation. Strategically, Ticketplus aims to use its asset-light, white-label SaaS model as a wedge into new markets, then selectively convert partners into full-operations relationships via acquisitions o...

ISerg/iStock via Getty Images The Proshares Ultra S&P500 ETF ( SSO ) offers 2X leverage on the S&P 500 Index and is a good swing trading instrument, but leverage generates long-term decay. This article explains and reports the drift of 22 leveraged ETFs, then focuses on SSO history. Why do leveraged ETFs drift? ETF decay may have four reasons: beta-slippage, roll yield (when derivatives are part of the portfolio), tracking errors, and fees. Beta-slippage is the main reason for equity leveraged ETFs such as SSO. To understand it, imagine a very volatile asset that goes up 25% one day and down 20% the day after. A perfect 2X leveraged ETF goes up 50% the first day and down 40% the second day. On the close of the second day, the underlying asset is back to its initial price: (1 + 0.25) x (1 - 0.2) = 1 In the same time, the perfect leveraged ETF has lost 10%: (1 + 0.5) x (1 - 0.4) = 0.9 It is the result of compounding leveraged returns. In a trending market, the drift can bring excess return instead of decay. If the underlying index goes up 10% two days in a row, on the second day, it is up 21%… (1 + 0.1) x (1 + 0.1) = 1.21 …while the perfect 2X leveraged ETFs is up 44%: (1 + 0.2) x (1 + 0.2) = 1.44 Beta-slippage is path-dependent. If the underlying index gains 50% on day 1 and loses 33.33% on day 2, it is back to its initial value, like in the first example. However, the 2X ETF loses one third of its value, instead of 10% in the first case: (1 + 1) x (1 - 0.6667) = 0.6667 Without a demonstration, it shows that the higher the volatility, the larger the decay. Moreover, the higher the leverage factor, the larger the decay. If we come back to the first example, a perfect 3X ETF would gain 75% on day 1 and lose 60% on day 2: (1 + 0.75) x (1 - 0.6) = 0.7 The 3X ETF is down 30% in two days, while the 2X ETF is down only 10% and the underlying index is unchanged. Leveraged ETF d rift watchlist There is no standard definition of leveraged ETF drift. I use the difference betwee...

Richard Drury/DigitalVision via Getty Images Today, I am reviewing the Invesco S&P Intl Developed Momentum ETF ( IDMO ). I believe this fund occupies a distinctive space in the international ETF world. Unlike traditional developed-market ETFs that weight companies by market capitalization, the fund selects stocks based on their 12-month price momentum, excluding the most recent month. Investors considering IDMO need to be comfortable with higher turnover, greater concentration, and periods of underperformance, but in exchange they get a disciplined, rules-based approach to capturing momentum. For investors seeking broad, stable, low-cost international exposure, I suggest looking into other, market-cap-weighted ETFs, that I will also mention in this article. In my opinion, IDMO is appealing to investors who are looking to diversify their portfolio into international stocks and at the same time look for a momentum bias. For this type of investor, I currently rate IDMO a BUY. Objective: IDMO captures international momentum winners, not value or quality IDMO tracks the S&P World Ex-U.S. Momentum Index, which measures the performance of large- and mid-cap companies from developed markets outside the U.S. that show the strongest price momentum. The fund invests at least 90% of its assets in those securities. The fund includes stocks selected from a broad S&P Global BMI–based universe, targeting the top-performing holdings based on risk-adjusted price momentum over a 12-month period (excluding the most recent month), and weights them by combining float-adjusted market capitalization with their momentum score. The fund and its underlying index are rebalanced and reconstituted on a semi-annual basis, which allows the portfolio to be regularly updated with current momentum leaders. IDMO: 195 holdings, $3.8 billion in AUM, and 0.25% expense ratio IDMO currently holds 195 stocks and carries an expense ratio of 0.25%, which is significantly higher than broad developed-market ETF...
