SPXU Ultra-Short S&P 500: Why Being Bearish Is A Bad Idea
Without the help of a crystal ball, holding the ProShares UltraPro Short S&P500 ETF is probably a bad idea for nearly every investor.

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 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.
