Latest News
5 articlesWhile the ProShares Ultra S&P 500 (SSO) has delivered 14.5% average annual returns over nearly 20 years and could theoretically turn a $10,000 investment into $1 million in 35 years, the article cautions that leverage amplifies both gains and losses. The ETF declined 9% year-to-date versus the S&P 500's 3.8% decline, and its 0.87% expense ratio is significantly higher than standard S&P 500 ETFs. The author recommends leveraged ETFs are better suited for day traders rather than long-term investors.
The article compares two leveraged ETFs: ProShares Ultra QQQ (QLD) and ProShares Ultra S&P 500 (SSO). Both aim to double daily index returns, but QLD focuses on tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 with higher volatility and fees, while SSO offers broader S&P 500 exposure with lower costs and higher dividends. The article cautions that leveraged ETFs are better suited for tactical traders than long-term investors due to daily leverage resets and amplified downside risk.
ProShares Ultra QQQ (QLD) and ProShares Ultra S&P 500 (SSO) are both 2x leveraged ETFs tracking different indexes. QLD offers higher one-year returns (29.85%) but carries greater risk with a 63.68% max drawdown and higher expense ratio (0.95%). SSO provides broader diversification with lower volatility and higher dividend yield (0.68%), making it potentially more suitable for risk-conscious leveraged investors. Both funds reset leverage daily, making them better suited for short-term trading rather than long-term holding.
ProShares Ultra QQQ (QLD) offers deeper tech concentration with higher returns but steeper drawdowns compared to ProShares Ultra S&P 500 (SSO). QLD delivered 27.6% 1-year returns versus SSO's 21%, but experienced a 63.78% maximum drawdown versus SSO's 46.77%. Both leveraged ETFs are high-risk instruments suitable only for tactical traders willing to tolerate extreme volatility.
SPXL and SSO are leveraged S&P 500 ETFs offering 3x and 2x daily returns respectively. While both charge the same 0.87% expense ratio, SPXL has delivered higher 5-year returns ($3,144 vs $2,588 on $1,000 invested) but with significantly greater volatility and deeper drawdowns (-63.80% vs -46.73%). The choice between them depends on investor risk tolerance and investment timeframe.
