There is a web site alletf.com which contains a Performance Quilt. Including leveraged ETFs in the quilt will illustrate how some ETFs are up over 100% during some years. Looking at the performace chart on stockcharts.com for the last 1000 days (about 5 years) indicates that TQQQ is up 566%, UPRO 366%, SPLX 358%, UMDD 291%, and MIDU 290%. I have never liked buy and hope investing but if you can stand the volatility, it may be worth a shot.
Another web site to look at is etfscreen.com. There are 7 ETFs which have been up more that 100% over the last year. 8 ETFs have been up more than 50% over the last 6 months. 5 ETFs have been up more than 25% over the last 3 months. 16 ETFs have been up over 25% over the last month. Again if you can live with the volitility it may be an investment for you. One ETF, DGAZ, has been up 20% over one week, 39% over one month, 106% over 3 months, 96% over 6 months and 163% over one year.
