Seriously, if the stock market historically does 7%, after the market comes back to reality, what's stopping me doing max leverage on the S&P 500? Is there a way to do this?

losses are doubled too and it turns out to be toxic to your overall profits because of (administrative fees)

You could, but ETF's can be liquidated. Like not just dumping, going to $0 and then you get a small portion back when the assets are liquidated.

Yes but if you do this Mossad will visit you and if you can't recite the Shema Yisrael they shoot you

leveraged ETFs are meant to be hold daily,
a 3x SPY ETF tracks SPY with 3x leverage for the day, if you hold it another day there's some time component fuckery that's gonna lower your expected returns compared to your risk.

The leverage hurts you more on the downside than it helps you on the upside. $100 with a 20% increase then a 20% decrease leaves you with $96. If its 3x leveraged then $100 with a 60% increase then a 60% decrease leaves you with $64. These are examples with extreme numbers but the math follows for smaller daily changes too

just look at tqqq chart, 50% per year for 10 years straight

>> No.24679556

If you gain 10% and lose 10% you’re going to be down a bit , this happens even harder with leverage
