Leveraged EFTs outperform VTI/VOO (in terms of total return) over 30-40 year investment horizons. Period.

Now, the risk (potential one-year downside) is not for everyone.

A little bit of leverage as others have commented is fine.

The problem happens if there’s 51% drop in 2x levered fund.

There’s a reason the fund the article’s OP is in started in 2008 and not 40 years ago.
