Just one trade of it exposes you to the hottest stocks like $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$, $Amazon.com(AMZN)$at much lower cost.

2021 has been a bullish year for SPY. The macro environment in 2022 such as the interest rate hike, acceleration on tapering of the bond buying program and shrinking of the global money supply are likely to pose a challenging environment to the SPY.
It has a resistance in the region of 470, it's historical high was 478.492 so million dollar question everybody has in mind: how high can it go?
