For "no roll" and "roll same position" strategies, the 2nd last day seems to outperform slightly more often. Let me know if you would like to 1) look at quarter to quarter earning volatility of these strategies or 2) look at effect of incorporating some transaction costs for rolling/liquidating positions. --Stinson Normal Roll No Roll Fill Gap
