Steroids and HGH aren’t just for baseball players, these handy little boosters will work wonders for your investment portfolio.   I’ve hinted in the past about a new mathematical model for the ETF-Cashinator that factors in leveraged index funds with covered call writing to boost returns to superior levels and as always, I put my money where my mouth (blog) is and take action.

Yesterday, I banked about $2700 on top of the $900 I made last week but I’m moving toward using my new leveraged model to rake in more profits as I described here.   This essentially goes back to this original mind blowing article written by Jason Kelly here.  I’m convinced that this model can work with pure options plays as well but that’s for another blog and another time.

So how does this whole thing work?

We all know index funds tend to be the better bets on the stock market.  Less than 20% of funds ever beat indexes so it makes index funds a very seductive investment play but how can you make it better?

In a single word: leverage.   If index  funds are good then why can’t leveraged index funds be better?  If you’re dollar cost averaging anyway, why not buy leveraged index funds.  Sure you’ll lose twice as much during down turns but as long as you keep buying you’ll make twice as much on the way back up right?  I like to think of these leveraged index funds as index funds on steroids.

Index funds on steroids can be rewarding but why not add in something a little extra for a little insurance and extra kick!   Mixing leveraged index funds with covered call strategy is exactly that extra kick I’m famous for at this point!  I like to think of the covered calls as HGH so that leveraged index funds with covered calls acts and feels like steroids with HGH enhancement!

So what are the main tactical components.   Well leveraged index ETFs are the ones I like the most right now:

DXD - Double Short Dow

DDM - Double Long Dow

SSO - Double Long S&P 500

SDS - Double Short S&P 500.

I like all of these because they are leveraged up/down and they all trade options with healthy volume.    So my most recent trade was to go double short on the dow (DXD) and sell calls (DXDCI) to be inverse long.  Using this strategy, I banked ~ $2,000 in my power account yesterday.   I then went on to go double long on the Dow (DDM) and sell calls short DDMCT to bank another $700 in my mini account.

So whether the Dow goes up or down from here it should be a profitable move -in theory.  The DDM will be valuable if the market recovers short term or long term and DXD will be profitable if the market tanks or recovers (options).

We’ll see how March expiry plays out.
