Not necessarily, maybe there's a strategy that returns 1 extra percent per year compared to just holding the ETF long term. Not quite enough to make a day and night difference, but enough to make it worth it.

Still, I personally wouldn't share it had I had one, since generally the more traders use it the less effective it gets.

Unless you've enough money to make that 1% extra worth your time and investment on finding the strategy, I'd rather stick on the ETF.
