First Trading Day of My Project

Today is my first trading day for my SPXL portfolio project. At the very frist day, I will allocate about 70% of my asset into SPXL as I deem SP500 sitll bullish.

So I bought 150 shares of SPXL for 139.07. My target SP500 index is 5200.

My portfolio return the first day at closing is 0.3% with the SP500 index at 0.62% with a negative tracking error of 0.32% which is expected, because SP500 shot up right at the beginning of trading hours and I did not buy in SPXL right at the beginning of trading.

The scenario is investing right at the highest point of S&P 500 index right before it crashed during the crisis. The date is Oct 9, 2007  when the index reached 1,565.15.

Investing until the S&P 500 index closed above the previous high at 1,568.61 on Apr 09, 2013 in order to simulate recover ability. Investing until the bottom of the Covid crisis at 2,304.92 on Mar 20, 2020 in order to simulate a series of market crashes. Performance By Ranks Oct 9, 2007 to Mar 09, 2009 SHY  return is 8.848% AGG  return is 7.390% LQD  return is -6.793% HYG  return i...
