I was just reading through Intelligent Investor on whether to manage your stock portfolio actively or passively, and it was suggested the decision be made on whether or not you could manage and pick value stocks well enough to beat the annualized return of something similar to a fund representative of the S&P500. So my question is if my goal is to actively manage my portfolio to beat the S&P500 and achieve something greater than say 7-8% annually, why not just invest in a leveraged 2x or 3x long S&P500 ETF like SSO or UPRO? As long as I would be dollar cost averaging monthly through the swings over the lifetime of my portfolio of say 30+ years until my retirement (I'm 27), wouldn't that save me a lot of time and effort? This wouldn't be in a tax sheltered account. I'm just throwing that out there. Any takers?
