Why do I like to leverage the market?



It's not only about multiplying returns.

It's about shorting the dollar, too.

Look at the chart below. The S&P500 is still negative 8% when compared to April 2000 due to inflation, although on paper, it returned 323%.
323% was not enough to beat inflation.

But leveraging stocks also means shorting the dollar, i.e., you are selling dollars (that crappy depreciating asset) to buy stocks (something that appreciates in value).

SSO only came out in 2006, but since then, it has returned 1,092%.
UPRO only came out in 2009, but since then, it has returned 8,400%.
