A year of buying BIL
Over the last 39 days BIL closed between $91.37 (September 2, 2026) and $91.86 (August 31, 2026). One hundred dollars put in at the low would be worth $100 today; at the high, $100. The current price $91.53 is above 22 of those 39 daily closes, so a purchase on a random day of that stretch would be in profit 56% of the time — fees aside.
A typical day moves BIL by 0.1%: a $1,000 position swings about $1 a day.
