SPXU Is In A Positive Drift, But History Suggests Being Cautious

SPXU Is In A Positive Drift, But History Suggests Being Cautious

3 Strategic ETFs for Bearish Investors Post-Election

Following the 2024 U.S. election, there has been a great deal of speculation about how a second Trump administration will set policies that have an impact on the economy. Some have taken a strongly optimistic view of what's to come—a recent Goldman Sachs report suggested that the likelihood of a recession has diminished along with inflation levels and that anticipated changes to tariffs, immigration, and other policies are not likely to dampen economic growth.

SPXU: A Bet On Election Uncertainty And Expensive Valuations

The ProShares UltraPro Short S&P500 ETF aims to provide triple the inverse daily performance of the S&P 500, ideal for bearish market outlooks. The ETF is highly leveraged and suitable for short-term trading, not long-term holding due to an elevated expense ratio and numerous medium-and-long-term tailwinds for US stocks. Arguments for a long SPXU position include election uncertainty, high concentration and elevated valuation of the S&P 500, as well as passive investor inflows.

SPXU: A Juicy 10.74% Dividend Out Of Reach

SPXU is a 3x leveraged inverse bet on the S&P 500 with a 10.74% TTM dividend yield from US Treasuries. While the dividend is attractive, it is more of a quirk than something we can effectively capture. The fund's leveraged nature comes with high risk warnings and negative compounding that amplifies losses over time.

SPXU: A Risky Bet On Perfect Timing And Rare Luck

ProShares UltraPro Short S&P500 is a triple-leveraged, inverse ETF that aims to produce three times the negative daily return of the S&P 500. SPXU tends to lose value over time due to betting against an asset that generally rises in value and suffers from compounding losses. Historical data suggests that SPXU is only successful during periods of market chaos and downward momentum, making it an unreliable trading or investment vehicle.
