SpaceX has rolled out its Starship spacecraft to the launch pad at Starbase for testing ahead of its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/starship">next flight test</a>, implying an imminent launch.
What Happened: &#8220;Starship ready for testing ahead of Flight 7,&#8221; SpaceX said in a post on social media platform X. The post was adjoined by photographs of the spacecraft on the pad.
The company, however, did not specify when the next flight would be.
Last week, SpaceX rolled out the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42376619/spacex-tests-starship-booster-ahead-of-next-flight">booster of the two-stage vehicle</a> to the launch pad for testing.

Starship is currently in the testing and development phase.
The company has conducted six test flights of the vehicle thus far starting in April 2023 but without a payload. The last flight test took place in November.
Why It Matters:&nbsp;The Starship vehicle is part of big dreams. While NASA is looking forward to taking humans back to the surface of the Moon after a gap of over 50 years with the help of a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42108681/spacex-shows-off-conceptual-version-of-starship-which-will-help-humans-land-back-on-moon-in-over-50-yrs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">custom version of Starship</a>, Musk is dreaming of taking&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40770222/elon-musk-sets-2026-for-starships-first-uncrewed-mars-mission-targeting-successful-landing" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">humans to the planet Mars</a>&nbsp;aboard Starship.
&#8220;…I would not be surprised if we fly 400 Starship launches in the next four years," SpaceX President and COO&nbsp;Gwynne Shotwell&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/24/11/42105704/spacex-ceo-elon-musk-reveals-technical-glitch-that-led-company-to-drop-key-objective-of-starships-6th-test-flight" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said at the Baron Investment Conference</a>&nbsp;in New York last month.
SpaceX is a privately held company. Unlike Musk's publicly held EV company Tesla, SpaceX&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42022150/spacex-to-launch-tender-offer-valuing-company-at-over-250-billion-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">does not divulge its financials</a>&nbsp;periodically.
"We are going to make some money on Starlink this year. But ultimately I think Starship will be the thing that takes us over the top as one of the most valuable companies," Shotwell previously said.
For the upcoming flight test, SpaceX will attempt to land the Starship spacecraft in the ocean yet again.
&#8220;We will do one more ocean landing of the ship. If that goes well, then SpaceX will attempt to catch the ship with the tower,&#8221; Musk previously said.
Despite SpaceX being private, investors can leverage Destiny Tech100 Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DXYZ#NYSE">DXYZ</a>) and Cathie Wood‘s Ark Venture Fund (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKVX#NASDAQ">ARKVX</a>) to participate in the Musk-led space company's growth.

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has spurred speculation about the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42282544/tesla-has-no-plans-to-sell-cybertruck-in-china-report">Cybertruck being introduced in China </a>by reportedly filing with China&#8217;s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) to measure the energy consumption of the stainless steel truck.
What Happened: Tesla received an Automobile Energy Consumption Label on Wednesday, according <a href="https://cnevpost.com/2024/12/11/tesla-completes-energy-consumption-filing-cybertruck-china/">to</a> a report by CnEVPost. The vehicle is classified as an M1 passenger vehicle in MIIT&#8217;s database with a range of 618 kilometers (384 miles.)
The filing has again spurred speculation of the stainless steel truck being sold in the country. However, the Automobile Energy Consumption Label is just one among the many compliance requirements to sell a vehicle mode in China, the report noted.
Tesla started delivering Cybertrucks to customers in the U.S. on Nov. 30, 2023. Since then, the company has also started delivering the vehicle to customers in Canada and Mexico.
The company took the Cybertruck for a spin around China earlier this year as part of a tour but is yet to begin selling it in China. While Tesla's China website lists the Cybertruck among the company's several EV offerings, customers from the country cannot order it.
Why It Matters: Getting approvals for the stainless steel vehicle on roads would be difficult in China, Tesla CEO Elon Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36626369/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-tempers-down-expectations-of-cybertruck-rollout-in-china-could-ship-some-prototy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said in January</a>, without explaining why.
The Cybertruck is currently manufactured only at the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42262279/a-year-after-teslas-first-cybertruck-deliveries-the-truck-has-a-long-way-to-go-to-meet-musks-goals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">company's gigafactory in Texas</a>, meaning that if Tesla chooses to sell it in China, it would have to be imported into the country like the company's other pricier EV offerings Model S and Model X.
Tesla's gigafactory in Shanghai only&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42194964/tesla-expands-in-china-partners-with-over-400-local-suppliers-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">makes the company's lower-priced mass-market offerings</a>&nbsp;Model 3 and Model Y.

Ciena Gears Up For Q4 Print; Here Are The Recent Forecast Changes From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

A former Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) executive has provided rare insights into Jeff Bezos&#8216; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/12/42441669/jeff-bezos-warns-thinking-small-is-a-self-fulfilling-prophecy-says-we-overestimate-risk-and-underestimate-opportunity">management philosophy</a> that helped build the e-commerce giant into a $2.4 trillion company, highlighting the founder&#8217;s preference for exhaustive debates over quick compromises.
What Happened: Ethan Evans, former Vice President of Prime Gaming, shared on X that Bezos actively encouraged lengthy arguments, even when they challenged his positions.
Evans recounted a specific incident involving the Prime Attribution Model, which determined revenue allocation among Amazon&#8217;s business units.
&#8220;During one chapter of the debate, the discussion went on for so long that the CFO stepped in and asked, &#8216;Jeff, do you want me to end this?'&#8221; Evans wrote. &#8220;Jeff explicitly said no.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">At Amazon, Jeff Bezos told us to &quot;not compromise for the sake of social cohesion.&quot; I saw him tolerate lengthy, exhausting arguments as a result. When I was a director, my VP constantly argued with Jeff and refused to back down.
&mdash; Ethan Evans (@EthanEvansVP) <a href="https://twitter.com/EthanEvansVP/status/1866150528134131954?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 9, 2024</a></blockquote>

Why It Matters: This management approach aligns with Bezos&#8217;s recently disclosed views on productivity. In a 2023 interview on the Lex Fridman Podcast, Bezos advocated for &#8220;messy meetings&#8221; without strict time constraints, believing that allowing minds to wander leads to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38422720/jeff-bezos-reveals-his-unconventional-approach-to-productivity-i-believe-in-wandering">better problem-solving</a>.
Evans explained that while his team never succeeded in changing the PAM model, Bezos&#8217;s openness to ongoing debate ensured all perspectives were considered. This approach combined two key Amazon principles: avoiding compromise merely for social cohesion and &#8220;disagree and commit.&#8221;
The leadership style <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/24/12/42407739/trump-announces-plans-to-have-dinner-with-amazon-founder-jeff-bezos-as-billionaire-rivals-turn-unexpected-allies-after-years-of-clashes">appears to have paid off</a>. Under Bezos&#8217;s guidance, Amazon grew into one of the world&#8217;s most valuable companies, and Bezos himself now ranks second on the Bloomberg Billionaire Index with a $249 billion net worth.

The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

Nasdaq Settles Above 20,000 Following Inflation Data, Alphabet Surges After Gemini 2.0 Unveil: Fear & Greed Index Remains In 'Neutral' Zone

Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg sold approximately $88 million worth of company stock over the past week, according to regulatory filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Wednesday.
What Happened: The sales occurred in two tranches, with Zuckerberg divesting $43.82 million in shares last week followed by an additional $44.29 million this week. The transactions were executed at prices ranging from $607.97 to $621.88 per share, the SEC filings show.
The stock sales come amid Meta&#8217;s stellar performance in 2024, with shares surging 82.70% year-to-date. The company&#8217;s stock closed at $632.68 on Wednesday, up 2.16%, though it edged down 0.20% in after-hours trading.
The social media giant&#8217;s robust performance aligns with the broader success of the &#8220;Magnificent Seven&#8221; tech companies. Meta, alongside Apple Inc., Alphabet Inc., Amazon.com Inc., and Tesla Inc., reached new record highs during Wednesday&#8217;s trading session. Together, these tech giants have achieved a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/12/42447567/magnificent-seven-tech-titans-hit-182-trillion-market-cap-alphabet-amazon-apple-meta-tesla-jointly-notch-all-time-highs">combined market capitalization of $18.2 trillion</a>.

Why It Matters: Despite the recent share sales, Zuckerberg remains one of the world&#8217;s wealthiest individuals, ranking third on the Bloomberg Billionaire Index with a net worth of $224 billion. 
The insider selling activity at Meta has been notable, with company insiders selling 59.63K shares worth $90.71M over the past 30 days, while no insider purchases were reported during the same period.
Meta currently boasts a market capitalization of $1.59 trillion and trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 29.23. The company&#8217;s stock has traded between $320.00 and $629.79 over the past 52 weeks, with analysts maintaining a positive outlook. 
Based on 41 analyst ratings, Meta has a consensus price target of $639.56, with recent analyses from Piper Sandler, Raymond James, and Wells Fargo suggesting an average upside potential of 4.85%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/META/analyst-ratings">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Mark Zuckerberg Sells Stock Worth $88M As Meta Surges Over 82% In 2024

U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy on Tuesday reportedly said that he does not intend to return the funds designated for the purchase of electric delivery vehicles without legislation from Congress. 
What Happened: The U.S. Congress gave the USPS $3 billion in 2023 to buy EVs and charging infrastructure. The federal agency is planning to buy around <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36752397/ford-electric-delivery-vehicles-siemens-charging-stations-shown-off-by-usps" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">66,000 electric vehicles by 2028</a>.
However, last week, Reuters reported that President-elect Donald Trump‘s<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42377065/trumps-transition-team-considering-undoing-uspss-contracts-with-ford-oshkosh-for-electrifying-fleet-report"> transition team is considering canceling</a> the U.S. Postal Service's (USPS) contracts aimed at electrifying its delivery fleet including with Ford Motor Co. and Oshkosh.
However, DeJoy said at a U.S. House of Representatives hearing on Tuesday, as reported by Reuters, that the purchase of EVs makes business sense for the postal service and any change &#8220;has to be legislation.&#8221;
USPS did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment.
Why It Matters: USPS bought 28,000 vehicles this year of which 22,000 were powered by gas. In 2025, the USPS will increase the proportion of EVs purchased to 50-50, and starting in 2026, all next-generation delivery vehicles purchased are expected to be EVs, the report said.
Breaking the contracts USPS has with Ford and Oshkosh would be legally challenging, Reuters had previously noted, given that the federal agency has its own governing board.
Trump, meanwhile, during his election campaign, had said that he would roll back the Biden administration's push towards electrification.
Reuters previously reported that his transition team is also planning to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41988194/trump-plans-to-erase-ev-tax-credit-analyst-says-its-net-bullish-calls-sell-off-wrong-knee-jerk-reaction" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">kill $7500 in consumer tax credit&nbsp;</a>on the purchase of electric vehicles.<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/osk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a>

Earnings Scheduled For December 12, 2024

Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) has said that it will be recording an impairment charge of approximately $800 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, according to an SEC filing. This follows General Motors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42429588/gms-cruise-exit-draws-sharp-reaction-from-co-founder-kyle-vogt-tesla-ceo-elon-musk-says-autonomous-driving-is-a-very-hard-problem">exit from funding</a> Cruise‘s robotaxi development.
What Happened: General Motors, on Tuesday said that it will no longer fund Cruise‘s robotaxi development but will instead combine the majority-owned unit into its technical teams.
Microsoft announced in January 2021 that it held a minority investment in Cruise, an autonomous vehicle company that is a majority-owned subsidiary of General Motors.
According to Microsoft the impairment charge &#8220;Will be recorded in other income and expense and was not included in our second quarter guidance provided on Oct. 30, 2024. It is estimated to have a negative impact of approximately $0.09 to second quarter diluted earnings per share.&#8221;
General Motors said that the robotaxi development work needs considerable time and resources to scale while adding that the robotaxi market is getting increasingly competitive. The company will now focus on developing its driver assistance technology called Super Cruise which requires active driver supervision, the company said.

Why It Matters: Bank of America analyst John Murphy believes General Motors' recent decision to prioritize personal autonomous vehicles (AVs) over robotaxi fleets signals a strategic shift, according to a Reuters report. Murphy argues that GM's confidence in the potential of personal AVs stems from the significant capital investment and operational challenges associated with scaling robotaxi fleets.
Garrett Nelson, an analyst at CFRA Research, echoed this sentiment, stating that investors were growing impatient with GM's substantial $10 billion investment in robotaxi development, which had yielded limited tangible results. &#8220;We consider the news a step in the right direction for GM, as we think investors were losing patience with its hefty spending (~$10B) related to robotaxi development with very little to show for its investment,&#8221; reported Reuters.
Elon Musk, Tesla CEO said, "Achieving a general solution to autonomy is a very hard problem, especially doing so without making the car super expensive, suggesting that achieving a cost-effective general solution is a significant challenge. Tesla is focused on enabling autonomous driving through its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42261358/tesla-launches-version-13-of-fsd-but-is-yet-to-achieve-vehicle-autonomy">full self-driving</a> software.
Former Cruise CEO Kyle Vogt, who left the company following an accident involving one of its robotaxis, took to X to criticize GM&#8217;s decision, labeling it as a misguided move.

Microsoft Expects $800 Million Impairment Charge Due To GM's Cruise Exit, Analyst Says It's A 'Step In The Right Direction' For Automaker

President-elect Donald Trump is set to ring the New York Stock Exchange opening bell Thursday, just months after threatening to move his company Trump Media &amp; Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42447434/democratic-congressman-bought-djt-stock-after-2024-election-months-after-saying-donald-trump-unfit-to-serve">from Nasdaq to NYSE over trading halts</a>.
What Happened: The ceremony comes as DJT stock has surged 107.62% year-to-date, closing at $36.23 on Wednesday with a market capitalization of $7.25 billion.
The former president publicly criticized Nasdaq in September when his company&#8217;s shares faced routine trading halts. &#8220;Why is NASDAQ halting the sale of DJT?&#8221; Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113132456877184604">wrote</a> on Truth Social. &#8220;I am going to hold NASDAQ, and maybe the SEC, liable for doing what they are doing. If they do it again, we will move the stock to the New York Stock Exchange,&#8221; Trump added.
The stock has seen a volatile performance, with prices ranging from $11.75 to $79.38 over the past 52 weeks. The company&#8217;s shares saw significant movement in September following Trump&#8217;s announcement that he wouldn&#8217;t sell his stake in the company.

Why It Matters: The bell-ringing ceremony carries particular significance as Trump faces legal challenges, including <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/12/42405278/trump-plays-presidential-immunity-card-in-truth-social-lawsuit-battle">attempts to invoke presidential immunity</a> in a lawsuit against Trump Media &amp; Technology Group. 
Previous presidents, including Ronald Reagan, have used similar NYSE appearances to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/24/12/42445514/trump-to-open-nyse-thursday-as-markets-surge">promote their economic agenda</a>.
Trump&#8217;s appearance at the exchange comes amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42452127/nasdaq-breaks-20000-milestone-as-tech-rally-rate-cut-hopes-fuel-market-optimism">broader market optimism</a>, with major indexes reaching record highs following the November election. 
The stock&#8217;s current technical indicators show a Relative Strength Index of 62, suggesting moderate buying momentum as Trump makes his first NYSE bell-ringing appearance.

Mark Zuckerberg and his company, Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) have made a significant donation of $1 million to support the inauguration events for President-elect Donald Trump. This marks Meta&#8217;s first contribution to an inauguration fund.
What Happened: The donation comes amid efforts by Meta to mend its relationship with Trump, who had previously accused the company of censoring right-wing voices.
Recently, Nick Clegg, Meta&#8217;s head of global affairs, acknowledged that the company might have been overly aggressive in moderating pandemic-related content. This admission is seen as part of Meta&#8217;s strategy to ease tensions with Trump. 
The donation follows a trend among Silicon Valley executives to align with Trump since his election victory, the Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/d4c10a1b-425b-4245-ab5a-b396de8232c7">reported</a> on Thursday.

Despite a rocky history, including Meta&#8217;s suspension of Trump&#8217;s account following the Capitol riot, Zuckerberg reportedly dined with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42227958/mark-zuckerberg-and-trump-reportedly-met-at-mar-a-lago">Trump at Mar-a-Lago</a>, indicating a potential thaw in their relationship.
Why It Matters: The donation is significant given the recent history between Zuckerberg and Trump. In August, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40667286/trump-warns-zuckerberg-in-latest-book-says-he-could-be-in-prison-for-the-rest-of-his-life-we-are-wat">Trump had warned Zuckerberg </a>in his book, suggesting that he could face life imprisonment if he engaged in unlawful activities during the 2024 Presidential Election. This threat highlighted the strained relationship between the two.
However, in December,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42306998/zuckerberg-seeks-active-role-in-trumps-tech-policies-says-metas-president-of-global-affairs-while-admitting-they-overdid-it-a-bit-during-pandemic-content-crackdown">Meta&#8217;s president of global affairs</a>&nbsp;revealed that Zuckerberg is seeking to play an &#8220;active role&#8221; in shaping technology policies under Trump&#8217;s administration. This shift in approach suggests that Meta is keen on influencing tech policies and maintaining its leadership position in the industry.

Months After Trump Threatened To Put Mark Zuckerberg In Prison, Meta CEO Donates $1M To President-Elect's Inaugural Event

디렉시온(Direxion)의 최신 출시 상품은 단기 트레이더들에게 새로운 기회를 제공한다: 버크셔 해서웨이(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)와 팔란티어 테크놀로지스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>)에 연동된 단일 주식 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/leveraged-etfs">레버리지 및 인버스 ETF</a>이다.
이번 조치는 디렉시온의 틈새 제품군을 확대하여 시장 참가자들에게 주식 시장에서 가장 상징적인 복합기업과 가장 화제의 중심에 있는 기술 주식 중 하나에 투자할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 제공한다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">트레이더의 놀이터</h2>
전설적인 투자자 워런 버핏이 이끄는 버크셔 해서웨이는 매우 강력한(high-octane) 트레이딩을 위해 가장 먼저 생각나는 주식은 아니다. 체계적이고 장기적인 초점으로 알려진 버크셔의 포트폴리오는 &#8220;느리고 꾸준하게&#8221;의 전형이다. 하지만 디렉시온의 새로운 제공 상품인 Direxion Daily BRKB Bull 2X Shares(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRKU#NASDAQ">BRKU</a>) (2배 일일 강세 노출)와 Direxion Daily BRKB Bear 1X Shares(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRKD#NASDAQ">BRKD</a>) (1배 일일 약세 노출)는 월스트리트에서 가장 안정적인 이름 중 하나에 추가적인 흥미를 가져올 것을 약속한다.
&#8220;디렉시온의 ETF 산업에서의 지속적인 혁신에 대한 헌신은 제가 팀에 합류한 여러 가지 이유 중 하나이다&#8221;라고 디렉시온의 CEO인 더글라스 욘스(Douglas Yones)가 말했다.
반면에, 팔란티어는 이러한 종류의 거래에 특별히 적합한 것처럼 보인다. 정부 계약, 인공지능(AI) 열풍 그리고 증가하는 상업적 입지로 급등한 주식인 팔란티어는 이미 소매 트레이더들의 주목을 받고 있다. Direxion Daily PLTR Bull 2X Shares(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTU#NASDAQ">PLTU</a>) (2배 일일 강세 노출)와 Direxion Daily PLTR Bear 1X Shares(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTD#NASDAQ">PLTD</a>) (1배 일일 약세 노출)와 함께, 디렉시온은 팔란티어의 높은 변동성과 열정적인 팬층이 행동으로 이어질 것이라고 예상하고 있다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">왜 단일 주식 ETF인가?</h2>
단일 주식 ETF는 마음이 약한 사람이나 매수-보유 투자자에게 적합하지 않다. 이러한 ETF는 본래 일일 변동을 증폭시켜 변동성을 선호하는 트레이더들을 위한 도구가 된다. 전통적인 ETF와 달리, 이러한 상품은 개별 주식을 추적하여 분산 투자라는 안전망을 건너뛴다.
디렉시온은 이 제품들이 단기 사용을 목적으로 한다고 강조하지만, 손실이 증폭될 수 있는 잠재력은 그 위험성을 강조한다.
추가 읽기: <a href="https://kr.benzinga.com/news/usa/stocks/%EB%B2%84%ED%95%8F-%EC%A7%80%EC%88%98-%EB%8B%B7%EC%BB%B4-%EB%B2%84%EB%B8%94-%EB%8B%B9%EC%8B%9C-140%EC%98%80%EB%8A%94%EB%8D%B0-%EC%A7%80%EA%B8%88-200-%EC%9D%B4%EC%83%81%EC%9C%BC%EB%A1%9C-%EC%98%AC/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">워런 버핏은 &#8216;불장난&#8217;이라고 명명된 지표가 140%에 도달했을 때 경고 — 오늘날 200%가 넘는다: 시장 하락이 임박했나요?</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">버핏의 느린 차선과 팔란티어의 고속도로</h2>
이번 출시에서 버크셔와 팔란티어의 대조는 오늘날 거래 환경의 다양성을 강조한다. 버크셔는 오래된 수호세력으로, 검증된 것이지만 버핏의 지침에 따른 일일 감정 변화에 면역이 아니다. 반면 팔란티어는 AI 꿈과 고위험 파트너십에 의해 촉진되는 추측으로 번성한다.
이 ETF는 테슬라와 애플와 같은 다른 이름들을 겨냥한 디렉시온의 22개의 단일 주식 레버리지 및 인버스 펀드의 보다 넓은 제품군에 추가된다.
BRKU, BRKD, PLTU 또는 PLTD가 이 경쟁 시장에서 틈새를 확보할 수 있을지는 두고 봐야겠지만, 한 가지는 분명하다: 이들 제품은 시장에서 가장 주목받는 두 주식에 대한 거래에 새로운 복잡성을 제공한다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">신중하게 진행</h2>
이렇게 거래에 뛰어들고 싶은 분들에게 한 가지 조언: 거래하는 내용을 아는 것이 중요하다. 레버리지 ETF는 높은 위험 도구이며, 단순히 설정하고 잊어버릴 수 있는 투자가 아니다. 이 펀드는 레버리지 투자 결과를 추구할 때의 위험을 깊이 이해하는 사람들을 위한 것이다.
트레이더들이 버크셔의 지혜나 팔란티어의 변동성을 활용하기 위해 이러한 도구를 받아들일까? 이는 오직 시장만이 답할 수 있는 베팅이다.
