I See Zero Good Reason Not to Unload My Entire Bonus Into TQQQ

Update: Which one of you ratings monkey fucks downgraded the US debt the day after I yeeted my entire bonus into triple levered bull etf????

Look at the 5-year performance of any beginning and end point and that kitty purrs. It outperforms regular QQQ (over most intervals massively) and as it pertains to regular ole QQQ, that dog CAN hunt. 

Someone talk me out of dumping $60K cash into TQQQ.

5-Year Returns from each:

TQQQ: +175%

Le Virgin QQQ: +112%

I get in theory what you're saying but in practice it seems TQQQ has outperformed over long intervals. Only during short intervals in which the market is falling does QQQ do better. Unless we get surprising economic data and a rebound of hellish inflation or something and rates have to keep going up, I feel like riding the rebound with TQQQ wouldn't be a bad idea. 

 

Over the next 12 months I think the QQQ index will continue to rise and thus TQQQ will outperform over that horizon. Not going to hold forever. Do you feel opposite that there's likelihood of further pullback on Nasdaq stocks in the NTM?

For context QQQ YTD is 44% and TQQQ YTD is 166%, obvious reasons, higher risk, blah blah blah. But it's not an outlandish idea imo to dump $60K into it. 

 

Everyone whining abt volatility decay is just jealous of the returns ppl who invest long term in leveraged etfs have experienced and want to convince themselves and others that they’re “right”. I’m also jealous. Instead, I’m gonna join the leveraged etf folks and ride the wave of high returns

 

I am going to come back in 6 months and dunk on you if it works out. If it doesn't you'll never hear from me again. 

 

Have some faith bruh. The rip comes in November of '24 when Donald J. Hotboi wins a third straight election and disbands the EPA, FBI, DOJ, CIA, Supreme court, ADL, Red Cross, Tenant Advocacy Groups, Medicare System, IRS and Fed Reserve. That is when my cup shall runith over. 

Look for DWAC to become the next AAPL 12 months from V Day.
