@jacobdoesmoney2: $10K in VOO 10 years ago = $41,697. $10K in SOXL (3x leveraged semis) = $439,737. That’s not a typo — verified against Direxion’s own official fund performance data (they run SOXL), which reports a 45.72% annualized 10-year return. Compound that and you land almost exactly where the chart does. But here’s the part they don’t put in the fact sheet: SOXL crashed 73% in 2022 and then went sideways for years. Most people who bought in during the hype didn’t hold through that — they sold at the bottom. The 44x only happened for whoever stayed in through the pain. VOO’s “boring” 4.2x is what most real investors actually walked away with, because it was survivable. Data: Direxion fund fact sheet, StatMuse historical pricing. Would you have held through a 73% drawdown? 👇
