That's a really bad idea, those rebalance daily, so you are basically betting against short-term volatility (if spy goes down 10% in a day then up 10% the next, you are down 1% on spy, on a 2x levered etf you are down 4% or 4x the loss). Also both fees and slippage are really terrible on all levered ETFs

If you really want to do 2x lever its probably best to just buy 6 month or 1 yr dated ITM calls. They're quite cheap and very liquid on SPY.
