SDS: Playing With Fire
Shorting the S&P 500 is risky and often unsuccessful over time, but some use leveraged inverse ETFs like SDS for bearish bets. ProShares UltraShort S&P500 ETF tracks -2x daily performance of the S&P 500 through derivatives and swaps, rebalanced daily to maintain the desired leverage ratio. The SDS ETF provides a way to hedge against market declines without unlimited risk, but carries risks of volatility decay and unexpected losses over time.

SDS: Geopolitical Uncertainity Driving This Higher (Technical Analysis)
Our Model Portfolio went to cash due to market sell signals, now allocating $50,000 to the inverse ProShares UltraShort S&P500 ETF. Our short-term thesis is that SPDR® S&P 500 ETF Trust will continue to decline due to Middle East tensions. The market is expected to bounce back after the Middle East crisis is resolved, but weakness is still expected in August due to seasonality.

Adding SDS To Our 2024MP Model Portfolio (Technical Analysis)
ProShares UltraShort S&P500 was added to our 2024MP Model Portfolio as the market is turning down. Communications Sector SPDR (XLC) and Technology Sector (XLK) were deleted from our Model Portfolio. Market weakness is indicated by the dropping prices in mega caps, a weakening economy, and the Fed's decision to stop raising rates.

SDS: Don't Be Tempted To Bet Against Stocks For The Long Term
S&P 500 Index on track to deliver 25% returns in 2023, one of the best years following last year's poor returns. In the short-term, markets are extremely overbought and nimble traders may be able to bet against the market using the SDS. However, over the long-run, the SDS ETF suffers from volatility decay and historically loses money.
