Currently I own 100k of upro on robinhood. What is better buying UPRO or shorting spxs? If shorting spxs, why and can I do that at robinhood or do i need to move to IB? I assume the costs to short spxs would make it similar? It's important to fundamentally understand what it means to "long upr...

Currently I'm having 100k in UPRO, 100k loaned out on crypto.com for 12% interest a year before taxes (I know not without risk, but imo low risk). 300k in bitcoin that I am planning on selling at least half of it. When the Crypto winter comes, your portfolio is toast. This is an extremely risky por...

Just to be clear, leenaerts, I would appreciate it if you would take a look at the the Bogleheads investment philosophy . It would be nice if you could say "OK, I've read it, I understand it--but it's just not for me." Also, be aware that there is no such thing as "low correlated ass...

Basically I like leverage, but it looks like you can overleverage on 1 thing, lose it all and never recover. If you spread it out to un/very low correlated assets your chances of losing all become way less and make it way more likely to recover. Especially comparing Hedgefundie and a straight 100% U...

Also you are not getting the expense ratio paid to you so no shorting a high ER fund isn’t helping. Whoever holds the share is paying that ER. An inverse s and p leveraged fund. With a high ER of 2% I assume it will just be 2% lower in price after a year. Since I'm shorting that stock I can buy it ...

read the wiki mentioned above read the previous threads on inverse and leveraged funds the daily tracking-error will be compounded daily Site doesnt answer my question. And average return is still 3x s and p after expense ratio. I'm not caring too much about that decay, I know what it is. It makes ...

What would be the difference with going long on e.g. SSO and going short on SDS? Should they give me the same returns? If not what is the difference? The daily returns will be the same, but your exposure will change, so that the multi-day returns will be different. If you put $1000 into a long 2x l...

I can't help myself and love trading these. LABU / LABD is another good pair. if you're intent on levering up, consider traditional margin on a regular old ETF like SPY. you can achieve 4x and margin interest is probably less than the impact of the slippage if you have to ride out a bad trade. here...

What would be the difference with going long on e.g. SSO and going short on SDS? Should they give me the same returns? If not what is the difference? Would expense ratios be important. I assume high expense ratios for an etf you are shorting is a good thing ? *looking for answers on these questions,...

Sold 1 stock for 9k and invested that in UPRO I compared spy and upro daily changes from the last years and its unbelievable close to 3x. I'm less than the expense ratio off over a year period. In a market that goes up consistently that’s what you will see. In a market that goes sideways for awhile...

What about buying options? I can buy january 2020 options with paying about 2% extra, that's cheaper than going on margin at IB?

I am 24 yrs old. Have 34000$ in individual stocks. I make 90000$ a year so I can afford losing my complete investment. I am just looking how to get the best return on my investment.

Therefore, the annual returns of 2x leveraged ETFs are less than double the returns of the indexes they track, and are often less than the returns of the indexes themselves. Or more? Just simulated something in excel. Average is almost 2 times the normal etf, only differences due to the fees Thing ...

Taking out a margin loan has a different problem. If you use margin to get 2x leverage, you do get twice the returns of the stock market, but only as long as you are allowed to keep the loan. If the market falls, you will have a margin call, and when you sell stock to meet that call, you won't be a...

You’re young enough that you could try to create a legacy by buying blue chip stocks as well as picking a non-dividend grower in an emerging industry once every few years. But I don’t think your pay is high enough for this to make sense. Instead, shove everything you can into 401k/ira. What’s left ...
