Holy Amubo savings plan

I will include the $CL2 (-0,3 %) as a savings plan in my securities account. Would you run the savings plan weekly or monthly? Maybe some of you are also invested.

I think if I were to leverage here then it would be a maximum bet, i.e. no savings plan, but in a crash with market timing :D

@WarrenamBuffet okay 😊you could then simply increase the savings plan

@Max095 or this. If savings plan then classic monthly

Apart from the fact that this ETF is not really designed for a savings plan and buy & hold, I would be cautious with something like this just below the ATH of the indices.
And to quote @Epi: think of the drawdown with such an instrument.

@Der_Dividenden_Monteur Thank you for your feedback. Why should the ETF not be suitable for buy & hold? 26% return per year
image de profil
@Max095 the 26% is an average that you see in the benchmark, yes. But that's not how it works with leveraged products, you have the path dependency here, i.e. if there is another fall in tech like 2022/23, you have -60% with the ETF and since you have a fixed leverage and not a dynamic one like with a derivative, it takes significantly longer to make up for the losses.

Or take a look at how @Epi works with its gtaa strategy, where you only invest in the leveraged ETFs within fixed parameters.

@Der_Dividenden_Monteur In 2022 it made -30% from the high to the low. The index from $CL2 is the MSCI USA, which has just under 600 stocks, so it is quite well diversified. I wouldn't go all-in at the ATH, but there's really nothing wrong with a small savings plan if you're aware of the risk.

I have a "roundup" savings plan with Trade-Republic, i.e. the difference for rounding up when I buy something with the card, once a week. As I only rarely use the card for little things in between (a small cappuccino here, a pretzel there), I rarely end up with more than €2 a week. However, I also have a small basic balance of €200, which I could survive without at the end of the world.
Conclusion: Far too risky for a serious savings plan for large assets, but as a small side project, the holy amumbo has been really nice so far!

It has a fairly high Europe weighting. Is it leveraged?

@Tenbagger2024 Yes, exactly. 2x lever

A 2x leveraged USA ETF without a strategy? Easy after 15 years of boom. 😅

You'll need nerves of steel and a good job to get through the next few years. In 2020 alone, the ETF lost 50% within 6 weeks.

Reconstruct how the ETF would have performed in 2000-2010.

Without a clear strategy, I wouldn't put something like this in my portfolio.

@Epi Thank you for your feedback, so buy & hold is not a strategy in your opinion?

@Max095 Yes, it is. It is a strategy. It's even a very good one, but only one and one with clear disadvantages. These disadvantages can be compensated for with other strategies.
In the end, it can mean retirement 10 years earlier.

@Epi only 10 years? Then you need a better strategy ;)

@Max095 10 years earlier than B&H!

I don't know. I traded with the 3x from time to time on a weekly basis. I had to be very careful. But I never actually did a backtest to see how it would have behaved with a savings plan... Maybe I'll do one sometime 😀

@Hotte1909 Hi Patrick, thanks for your feedback. I have now set up a savings plan. Can keep you posted on how it goes 😀
image de profil
@Max095 yes, I'm also doing a little baking test at the moment. Maybe I'll get it finished then I'll let you know

@Hotte1909 With pleasure 😉

@Max095 so I ran through a few scenarios. The fact is that you need balls of steel, and pretty much all the scenarios I simulated were 40-70% in the red. My risk management would probably have been effective by then. But now the good news is that even if you start at the ATH, you will get a positive return after a year at the latest. I have not simulated individual purchases at the ATH. But I wouldn't have expected this result myself. Now we come back to the but 😉 Unfortunately, growth is always finite. At some point it can't go any higher. Of course, inflation also drives up market apilization. If we leave that out of the equation, we can still achieve growth (automation saves labor, etc.), but somewhere/sometime the point will probably be reached where nothing more can be done. Or we simply can't imagine it that way. Who knows what new industries will be added in the future... If you had told Generall Motors in 1950 that there would be companies worth trillions. They would have chased you away.

@Max095 Mind you, this only refers to this ETF since its launch. If things go the way they did between 00-10, you will certainly need longer to become positive. But you still have how many 35 years until "retirement"?
image de profil
@Hotte1909 Wow! Thank you so much for your detailed summary and for making the effort! 😊 Exactly, over 30 years until retirement. Then I could add it as a small "yield driver" alongside my $FGEQ.

@Hotte1909 You can't lose the stake completely by adjusting the lever every day, can you?
image de profil
@Marre2410 You mean like a knock-out certificate?
image de profil
@Max095 The only thing I don't understand is the composition. Is it index-based or is the composition here just wrong?
image de profil
@Hotte1909 yes right so you practically lose everything
