Matt Humberto asked:


I’m interested in “leveraged indexes” (ex., SSO) that imitate the general movement of the stock market with increased power. However, if the market plummets, I’m twice as in trouble as I’d normally be.

I know that predicting the market is a difficult if not impossible task, but are there any early “warning signs” to warn me of an upcoming recession?

Historically, how many times have corrections (10% drop in the market) turned into a true, full-blown recession (20% drop or more in the market)?

Thanks for your help!
Correction: By “recession” I meant a bear market. Sorry for the confusion of terms.

   If you want to invest in the stock market with leverage, you should invest in DIA options instead. That gives you much much more leverage BUT completely no risk if the stock market should plummet into a bear market by using a strategy we call a Short Bull Ratio Spread. Please see full details at
