Some skeptics may point to the SPXL ETF as risk-prone because it is triple-leveraged.
The dog days of summer don't apply to traders. Seeking profits is an all-season affair.
SPXL, a leveraged ETF, aims for 3x SPY's daily return, with a 0.87% expense ratio offset by a 0.91% dividend. My strategy involves holding SPXL when SPY is above its 200-day moving average, selling when it falls below. Despite recent underperformance, the strategy minimizes drawdowns; SPXL is now a buy signal, indicating lower volatility and higher returns.

The fund described operates as an investment vehicle that aims to provide investors with leveraged exposure to a specific index, which in this case encompasses 500 of the largest U.S.-listed companies by market capitalization. The fund's strategy involves an aggressive investment approach, committing at least 80% of its net assets, along with any borrowed funds for investment purposes, towards financial instruments designed to triple the daily performance of the targeted index. This includes the utilization of swap agreements, investments in the securities of the index itself, and holdings in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that also track the same index. Despite aiming for high returns through leveraged exposure, this strategy inherently comes with a higher degree of risk compared to non-leveraged investment approaches. This fund is classified as non-diversified, meaning its investments are concentrated in a narrower selection of securities which can lead to greater volatility in its value.
Swap Agreements: These are derivative contracts through which two parties exchange the cash flows or liabilities from two different financial instruments. In the context of this fund, swap agreements are utilized to gain leveraged exposure to the index's performance without directly purchasing the underlying securities.
Securities of the Index: The fund invests in the stocks comprising the index itself, specifically targeting those 500 leading, large-cap U.S.-listed companies. This direct investment aims to mirror the performance of the index, which is then amplified through the fund's leveraged strategy.
Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs): ETFs that track the performance of the targeted index are also part of the fund's investment portfolio. These funds offer the advantage of being traded like a stock while providing diversified exposure to a wide array of assets within the target index, thereby contributing to the overall strategy of gaining leveraged exposure.
