At this junction of many uncertainties, the market clearly cannot agree on the direction of the U.S. economy. A big surge in stocks indicates a soft landing for the economy, while rising bond and gold prices suggest a hard landing. The decline in oil and copper prices, which are sensitive to the economy, indicates weak global economic growth, and the falling U.S. dollar raises doubts about international investor confidence.![]()

Beginning in March, the gold market has witnessed a robust rise. The price of gold reached an unprecedented peak on March 6th. During the months of April through July, the price of gold found stability, fluctuating between $2,300 and $2,400. Yet, as July concluded, the price of gold experienced another sharp increase, surpassing the crucial threshold of $2,500 in the early days of August, garnering significant interest from investors around the world.

This is becasue in such an unpredictable market climate, it's important to contemplate the use of leveraged ETFs as a strategic instrument to seize opportunities and enhance possible gains, despite having restricted capital.
Leveraged ETFs are designed to amplify the daily performance of the reference benchmark index by multiples. Take the $ProShares UltraPro QQQ ETF (TQQQ.US)$, for example, which strives to produce triple the daily performance of the $NASDAQ 100 Index (.NDX.US)$. This means that if the Nasdaq 100 increases by 1% on a given day, $ProShares UltraPro QQQ ETF (TQQQ.US)$ is expected to rise approximately 3% that same day. On the flip side, a 1% decline in the index would lead to an estimated 3% drop in $ProShares UltraPro QQQ ETF (TQQQ.US)$.
Beyond index leveraged ETFs that mirror the movements of a collection of stocks, there's an emerging type of investment called individual stock leveraged ETFs, which focus on the performance of a single corporation's shares. The $GraniteShares 2x Long NVDA Daily ETF (NVDL.US)$ stands out as one of the prominent individual stock leveraged ETFs that specifically follows the stock of Nvidia.

Avaliye : When it comes to expected rate cuts, bond ETFs and growth stock ETFs are the stars of the show!
They tend to shine the brightest, offering potential resilience and profitability.
Jack Lauren : I consider valuation, economic cycles, policy shifts, and industry trends. Plus, I gotta keep an eye on liquidity and fees. It's like a puzzle, but I love solving them!
EugeneB : For some weird reason redittors always shit on 3x leveraged ETFs. But my biggest gains have been on TQQQ, SOXL and Spxl.
