The U.S. economy faces a bleak future due to the long-term debt cycle, leading to higher inflation and potential stagflation. Historical patterns suggest the S&P 500 is due for a long-term drawdown, with real returns likely to suffer.

S&P 500: A Stagflationary Lost Decade Is Likely Approaching

The S&P 500 may be lower today, but Nigel Green, CEO of deVere Group, predicts that the S&P 500 will likely reach 6,000 by the end of the year. Green, who heads one of the world's largest independent financial advisory firms, believes the index's rise is not only possible but likely.

Could the S&P 500 hit 6,000 by year end?

The S&P 500 is on a record run this year, posting its strongest year-to-date performance since 1997. But, as analysts at Goldman Sachs argued in a note on Monday, all good things must come to an end.

Wave Goodbye To the Stock Market's Historic Run, Goldman Sachs Says

S&P 500 has offered healthy returns over the past ten years but the investment landscape will be dramatically different through 2034, warns David Kostin of Goldman Sachs. The bank's chief of US equity strategy does not expect the broad market index to return more than 3.0% annually over the next decade.

S&P 500 annual returns will be capped at 3% over the next decade, Goldman Sachs warns

It is trickier than it sounds because plenty of traditional value sectors, such as utilities and industrial stocks, look expensive compared to historical levels.

The S&P 500 May Be ‘Melting Up.' Where You Can Still Find Value.

Goldman's tepid prediction comes during a particularly bullish market, with the S&P 500 amassing a 27% annual total return the last two years.

The S&P 500 achieved a new high to close out the third week of October. After retreating a bit during the week, stock prices rose again on Friday, 18 October 2024 to achieve the index's new record-high close.

The S&P 500 Clocks Another New Record High

Investing in leveraged versions of the S&P 500 is nearly guaranteed to beat the market given a sufficiently long time span. However, real-life investors are risk-averse and do not have infinite time horizons. Diversified CEF or ETF portfolios offer stable income and improved diversification for better investment outcomes, once risk and investor psychology are taken into account.

How To Simply Beat The S&P 500 Over The Long Run (But Why We Don't Do It)

Leveraged ETFs like UPRO can be powerful tools for investors if used correctly. Hedging with inverse ETFs can help mitigate risks and maximize gains. Technical analysis and a well-thought-out trading plan are essential for successful execution of leveraged ETF strategies.

The US stock market has surged to new heights, with the S&P 500 index reaching a record high of 5,325 points and the DJIA index touching 40,000 points. Investors are experiencing euphoria, spurred by the unexpectedly low US inflation figures released earlier.

The US CPI report and ECB policy meeting highlight divergent paths for the Fed and ECB, driving further dollar strength. Widening spreads between central banks and interest rates could send the euro lower and impact other currency pairs.

The S&P 500 Index closed above 5,200 for the first time ever, following the Fed's signal to cut interest rates. This will mark the end of the most aggressive Fed hiking cycle and fuel corporate profits.

Leveraged ETFs to Ride on S&P's New 5,200 Milestone

UPRO is a triple-leveraged ETF that aims to deliver three times the daily return of the S&P 500, but it comes with high volatility and drawdown risks. Despite the risks, owning UPRO can be a strategic way to ride the stock market rally while protecting against significant losses. By allocating a portion of a portfolio to UPRO and cash, investors can effectively "delever" and emulate the performance of the S&P 500 while minimizing downside exposure.
