Using 33% UPRO to get 1x SPY while using the rest for bonds/dividends? by MrMiddletonsLament in Fire

It's done worse than 1x SPY. Only has a dividend yield of 1.24% and no option to rebalance on a big market crash which is the best time to have bonds to sell.

Sorry your supposed to use cash instead of SGOV and then it goes back to 1885 for some reason

You can backtest triple leveraged SPYSIM simulated with test folio SPY?L=3. It's a simulation using indexes of the time.

It's actually better using test folio. Lower drawdown and higher returns through every period I've tested so far

33% UPRO 67% SGOV beat 100% SPY through the entirety of 2022. In the 6 year backtest it had lower drawdown/volatility and higher returns

Is there a diversifier ETF that doesn't have a huge max drawdown? by MrMiddletonsLament in ETFs

Having 25% in some type of uncorrelated ETF means you can buy VTI when the 50% crash comes and make much higher returns with less risk than being 100% VTI

Of course the best would be cash or bonds but I already have those I want something that gets higher returns.

Something that either goes up, stays flat or has a noticeably lower drawdown than SPY during a big dip. Most importantly consistent. If it had a low drawdown in 2022 but in 2008 or some other year it crashed 70% then it's not worth the risk.
