Erosion Goes On For SPUU
The Direxion Daily S&P 500 Bull 2X Shares ETF offers profitable swing trading in bull markets, but its 2X leverage causes performance drift and decay, especially in volatile or sideways markets. Leveraged ETF decay is mainly due to beta-slippage, with higher leverage and volatility increasing the negative drift over time. SPUU's historical and simulated returns show that long-term outperformance over SPY is minimal, with significant drawdowns and persistent negative drift.
