Since 08, SPXL (an sp500 3x ETF) has seen a 500% increase in value.
The sp500 has seen only 70%.
Where the fuck are the "you don't hold leveraged ETFs long term" people?
What am I missing here?
Getting fucked in the ass by hidden fees?

Lol. First time I've laughed on /biz/ in a while.

those things can go to zero and close because they're operating on margin

Thanks, I guess that answer was sufficient.
Though in the next bull market after a real crash comes be it one month or 3 years from now, I'll have half a mind to put a portion of my investment money into something like SPXL.
because most likely the leveraged etf has it's own supply/demand ecosystem. (ie: it doesn't actually track tick for tick, and can be seen more as a canary in a coalmine)

because
1. they operate on a goal of 3x their basis fund PER DAY
2. they don't always get exactly 3x(sometimes higher, sometimes lower)
3. when it drops you might get fucked by how much you lose

Yes, make sure you hold it for at least a year for maximum profit!
The law of supply and demand usually follows the NAV of a leveraged ETF. If people don't give a fuck they can agree on SPXL's price to keep rising even though the underlying assets are bleeding money.

yup, market drops by a third and your leverage might well wipe you out
still could be worth a punt after a big crisis
I just bought a lot of uwti to hold for the long run. Im gonna be rich in 6 months time.
