@rickythesteadyinvestor: What happens if you buy 2X the S&P 500…and hold it for almost 20 years? ProShares launched SSO in 2006 with a goal of delivering 2X the S&P 500’s DAILY return. But 2X daily does NOT mean you’ll simply earn twice the S&P 500’s long-term return. So I tested it. Same starting investment. Dividends reinvested. No selling. June 2006 through January 2, 2026. And this experiment went through the Financial Crisis, the longest bull market in history, COVID, the 2022 bear market and several huge rallies. The result wasn’t what I expected — especially when I looked at what happened in 2008, 2013 and 2020. Would you have been able to hold an investment after it fell nearly 85%? Educational purposes only. Historical results do not guarantee future returns. Leveraged ETFs involve additional risks and may behave very differently from their underlying index over periods longer than one day. #Investing #StockMarket #SP500 #ETFs #PersonalFinance
I survived a 80% drawdown in TQQQ in 2020. Been in for like 6-7 years and up over 800% now

Why stop at 2x the 500 index? They should do one that is 10x the 500 index. 😂😂😂

Most would have bailed not understanding the underlying would recover regardless. Trading is 80% psychology. The people that lose lost their nerve first.

I love leveraged ETFs.. but only after a bear cycle when they’re undervalued. April was fun this year

I wish I had sense and guts to do DCA into SSO or TQQQ a decade ago.

It eats itself because of the options matching double performance.

These experiments are cool…it would be interesting if you did a similar thing where you always start from 2010, experimenting with the same amount of investment and the then put all the results in a leaderboard to find the best strategy.

am i missing something or is it basically you gain 2x or lose 2x as the S&P? 159k is basically double 78k

Same duration QQQ with $10K would have beaten both! Regardless, 2006-2026 has been a great bull run compared to previous decades. Never know the next 20 yrs will be the same.

You could hypothetically lose all your money with a leveraged daily reset fund right?
