Direxion Launches Single Stock Leveraged ETFs for Boeing and Exxon Mobil

Direxion, a prominent ETF provider, has expanded its trading toolkit with four new single stock leveraged and inverse ETFs focused on Boeing and Exxon Mobil. The new offerings include the Direxion Daily BA Bull 2X Shares (BOEU), Daily BA Bear 1X Shares (BOED), Daily XOM Bull 2X Shares (XOMX), and Daily XOM Bear 1X Shares (XOMZ).

These specialized ETFs are designed exclusively for experienced, active traders with high risk tolerance. Unlike traditional ETFs, these products track individual stock performance rather than broader indices, eliminating diversification benefits and presenting unique trading opportunities.

Douglas Yones, CEO of Direxion, highlighted the strategic rationale behind the new ETFs, noting that active traders can leverage catalysts specific to Boeing and Exxon Mobil. For Boeing, these might include regulatory announcements, airline orders, and production issues, while Exxon Mobil's performance could be influenced by crude oil prices, demand fluctuations, and geopolitical developments.

The ETFs are explicitly intended for short-term trading and are not recommended for long-term investment strategies. Direxion emphasizes that these products require investors to have an in-depth understanding of leveraged investment risks and the ability to actively monitor and manage their positions.

Potential investors should be aware that these ETFs carry significant risk. They can lose money even if the underlying stock moves in an anticipated direction, and their performance is designed to reset daily, making them unsuitable for extended holding periods.
