After a bad 2018, the Leveraged Portfolio has come back with major force.
UPRO: Bullish 3x leveraged S&P500
ZIV: Inverse VIX midterm volatility ETN
TMF: Bullish 3x leveraged 20-year bonds (TLT)
The portfolio is up +24% for the year. All the components are up YTD and now that interest rates will no longer be increased, I expect that the 3x bond component of the portfolio can be a real winner by year end. Of course replicating a +24% growth per quarter is unrealistic. When back-tested, the triple leveraged portfolio's best year was +52.7%.
Due to its aggressiveness, this portfolio carries a small balance, to which I will add $5,000 at the beginning of every year while re-balancing. I don't want to add more because despite its positive bias, boy it is a very wild ride almost daily.
