  • To put it mildly, it's been a very good couple of years for the S&P. Following a tepid 2022, the banner S&P 500 index has accelerated growth from 2023 into 2024. Last year, the index surged by more than 23%.

The article from MSN Money discusses two S&P 500 ETFs that are recommended for investors looking to capitalize on a bullish market. The first ETF highlighted is the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), which tracks the S&P 500 Index, offering broad market exposure with a low expense ratio, making it suitable for long-term growth. The second is the ProShares Ultra S&P500 (SSO), which provides 2x daily leverage on the S&P 500, aiming to return twice the daily performance of the index. This ETF is suggested for those who are willing to accept higher risk for potentially higher returns, especially in a hot market. The article emphasizes the importance of understanding leverage and the associated risks, as well as the potential for significant losses if the market turns bearish. It also advises investors to consider their risk tolerance and investment horizon before choosing between these ETFs.
