There are a lot of assumptions in this comment, and solid math based on faulty assumptions is not going to be a good long-term strategy.

The markets are not predictable based on past history. Whenever you have a model that shows they are, you are either cherry-picking or have been lucky. Even more, there are far too many external phenomena affecting the fortunes of an individual company to be able to reliably make the kinds of bets you are taking about.

> After crashing, the above formula assumes that TQQQ races higher in order to maintain it's long-term CAGR, so buying the dip helps a lot.

This is the funniest assumption by far. All (public for profit) companies try to "race higher" at all times. Sometimes they succeed, sometimes they stagnate, sometimes they crash. Right after a crash is when you have the highest chance of it never coming back up. The CAGR is a historical observation, not some kind of parameter of a forward-looking model.
