DRIP provides 2x daily inverse exposure to an equal-weighted index of the largest oil and gas exploration and production businesses in the United States.
What is the DRIP ETF?
A program-offered fund or brokerage business that allows investors to have their dividends automatically utilised to purchase additional shares of the issuing security is known as an automatic DRIP. This strategy is common in stock and mutual fund investing, although it is relatively new in ETFs.
DRIPs provide greater convenience and a convenient way to automatically grow your investments, but because of the variety in different programs, they might cause some challenges for ETF shareholders. Some brokerage services, for example, enable automatic dividend reinvestment but only allow full share purchases. Any remaining funds are deposited as cash into the investor’s brokerage account, which can easily be overlooked. Other companies pool their dividends and only reinvest them on a weekly or quarterly basis.
Some people reinvest dividends when the market opens on the due date, while others wait until the money is deposited, which is usually later in the day. A transaction completed at 7 a.m. may buy a different amount of shares than a trade executed at 10 a.m. since ETFs move like stocks and their market prices fluctuate throughout the day.

What exactly are GUSH and DRIP?
Standard & Poor’s Index Provider provides the S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production Select Industry Index (SPSIOPTR), which covers domestic firms in the oil and gas exploration and production sub-industry. The Index is intended to assess the performance of a sub-industry or set of sub-industries based on Global Industry Classification Standards (GICS). An index cannot be purchased directly.
How do you go about purchasing DRIP stocks?
You may find DRIP stocks for your portfolio in a variety of sources. Start with the dividend aristocrats, a group of companies with a proven track record of increasing their dividends year after year. A corporation must have increased its dividend distribution for 25 years in a row to be labeled a dividend aristocrat.
Although not all stocks can be considered aristocrats, there are plenty of corporations that offer consistent, dependable dividends. When researching companies, check at their dividend histories to see if they’ve paid consistently throughout time, even if the payout hasn’t increased.
You have a few DRIP alternatives once you’ve decided the firms you wish to invest in:
- DRIPs run by a company. DRIPs are used by a few large-cap firms that pay dividends. Coca-Cola (KO) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), both Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) members, manage their own direct stock purchase plans, which allow you to buy stock directly from them rather than through a brokerage, as well as dividend reinvestment plans, which reinvest dividends earned on stocks you buy through them.
- DRIPs for brokers. DRIP investing is made possible by many brokerages. Simply choose your dividend stocks or funds, enroll in your brokerage’s DRIP, and your brokerage will automatically reinvest in new shares when you receive a payout in your brokerage account. Most customers will find that using DRIP plans through their brokerage or robo-advisor is the most convenient way to reinvest profits.
- DRIPS MADE AT HOME If you want to invest in a dividend firm that doesn’t offer a DRIP and there are no third parties or brokerages who can help you with dividend reinvestment, you can do it yourself. Simply buy shares and fractional shares that equal the amount of your dividend distribution in dollars. If there are no fractional shares available, save the money until you have enough to purchase complete shares. Although this DRIP requires more work, you will still benefit from compound returns and dollar-cost averaging.
What caused gush to plummet so drastically?
During the first 11 months of 2020, the Direxion Daily S&P Oil & Gas Exp. & Prod. Bull 2X Shares ETF (GUSH) plummeted by nearly 97 percent. This poor performance can be attributed to a supply surplus produced by a price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia, as well as a sharp decline in demand induced by the worldwide crisis. Demand for further oil and gas exploration was effectively stifled as a result.
Unfortunately for GUSH investors, the S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production Select Industry Index has a 2x leveraged daily exposure. To reduce concentration in a small number of significant-sized enterprises, GUSH weights its index evenly, but this did not help much in 2020.
As of November 2020, GUSH had a gross expense ratio of 1.05 percent, up from 1.05 percent when it first began in May 2015.
Why was the gush level so high?
GUSH has risen over 100% in the last few months as a result of its leverage boost.
The ETF aims to achieve daily investment outcomes of 200 percent of the S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production Select Industry Index on a daily basis. Under normal conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (including borrowing for investment purposes) in index financial instruments and securities, index ETFs, and other financial instruments that provide daily leveraged exposure to the index or index ETFs.
The ‘golden cross’ for GUSH occurred in late December, when the fund’s 50-day moving average crossed above its 200-day moving average. Since then, GUSH has risen by more than 80%, and it could continue to rise as long as the fundamental backdrop for increased oil prices exists.
Momentum is currently favoring GUSH, according to technical indicators. At 72.03, the relative strength index (RSI) is solidly overbought.
What is a leveraged exchange-traded fund?
A leveraged exchange-traded fund (ETF) is a marketable product that leverages the returns of an underlying index by using financial derivatives and loans. A leveraged exchange-traded fund may aim for a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio, whereas a regular exchange-traded fund normally tracks the equities in its underlying index one-to-one.
Most indices, such as the Nasdaq 100 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average, include leveraged ETFs (DJIA).
