It’s been a monster year so far for many tech stocks, particularly for Nvidia NVDA. The AI chip maker, on the back of stellar revenues and a rosy outlook, has seen its stock almost double in 2024.
On the flip side, Tesla TSLA has seen its stock hammered. The electric vehicle (EV) pioneer, once the largest EV seller in the world, saw that title usurped by its Chinese counterpart, BYD BYDDY. This, along with poor earnings call after poor earnings call, has caused the company's stock to plunge more than 30% this year.
These sorts of huge swings present significant opportunities to investors if they are played right. The majority choose to invest directly in a company or indirectly through a broad-based ETF. Both can be smart choices, but investors are locked into a one-to-one relationship with the stock; they don't allow traders a way to further maximize returns or to profit from a stock dipping.
Options have been the primary vehicle for investors to do just that. Unfortunately, trading them is rife with pitfalls and requires a level of sophistication that many investors, if not most, lack.
Enter Direxion
The ETF issuer offers leveraged and inverse single-stock ETFs that allow investors to profit on either downward movements in the underlying stock or maximize upward movements. They avoid many of the problems and complications associated with trading options directly and, critically, they can be bought and sold right from a brokerage account in the same way you would the underlying stock.
