Direxion Daily META Bear 1X Shares

The Fund will attempt to achieve its investment objective without regard to overall market movement or the increase or decrease of the value of META. At the close of the markets each trading day, the Adviser rebalances the Funds portfolio so that its exposure to META is consistent with the Funds investment objective. The impact of METAs price movements during the day will affect whether the Funds portfolio needs to be rebalanced. For example, if the price of META has fallen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should rise, meaning that the Funds exposure will need to be increased. Conversely, if the price of META has risen on a given day, net assets of the Fund should fall, meaning the Funds exposure will need to be reduced. This daily rebalancing typically results in high portfolio turnover. On a day-to-day basis, the Fund is expected to hold money market funds, deposit accounts with institutions with high quality (investment grade) credit ratings, or short-term debt instruments that have terms-to-maturity of less than 397 days and exhibit high quality (investment grade) credit profiles, including U.S. government securities and repurchase agreements.

Willy Woo, a widely followed Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) influencer and analyst, revealed the series of events Sunday that caused them to close a business that was making him &#8220;millions per year.&#8221;
What Happened:&nbsp;In an X thread, Woo shared the journey about The Bitcoin Forecast, a subscription-based content offering on Substack that analyzed BTC&#8217;s on-chain signals and predicted the future course of the market.
The Bitcoin Forecast, which started in October 2020, quickly gained traction, according to Woo, prompting them to get BTC payments integrated for subscriptions.
&#8220;By 6 months I had almost 10,000 paid subs. I&#8217;m pretty sure even today it&#8217;s the most successful BTC investment letter to date,&#8221; Woo said. 
Benzinga couldn&#8217;t independently verify these claims. Substack didn&#8217;t immediately return a request for comment.

&mdash; Willy Woo (@woonomic) <a href="https://twitter.com/woonomic/status/1924227623074554195?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 18, 2025</a></blockquote>

However, things started to change after BTC surpassed the $60,000 mark. Woo noticed a shift in the market, with the market beginning to heavily rely on derivatives, which were not being adequately represented by on-chain signaling.
The result-the letter which launched with a reliability of 83%, saw its reliability dip below 60%.
&#8220;When reliability dropped below 60%,&nbsp;I felt it was doing&nbsp;more harm than good, so&nbsp;I killer the letter. It&nbsp;was no longer suitable for&nbsp;its mission,&#8221; Woo said. &#8220;It was encouraging&nbsp;retail to play timing games&nbsp;and without disciplined risk management&nbsp;plebs were effectively gambling.&#8221;
Woo&#8217;s decision underscores the volatility and unpredictability of the Bitcoin market. 
Benzinga&#8217;s Take: While on-chain fundamentals often focus on measuring the intrinsic value of a cryptocurrency using data derived directly from the blockchain, derivatives could help traders hedge against price movements, protecting positions while boosting stability and liquidity. A comprehensive analysis should involve informed understanding of both these sets of metrics.

Palmer Luckey says the arms race is no longer about bigger missiles but autonomous weapons that operate using artificial intelligence and he wants the United States to be "the world gun store" that supplies them.
What Happened: The Anduril founder <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/palmer-luckey-ai-powered-autonomous-weapons-future-of-warfare-60-minutes-transcript/">told</a> CBS' 60 Minutes that commercial tech has surpassed the Pentagon, arguing that a Tesla has better AI than any U.S. aircraft and a Roomba has better autonomy than most Pentagon weapons systems.
"Right now, there are so many weapon systems that require manning… If I can have one guy command and controlling 100 aircraft, that's a lot easier," Luckey said.
Though he conceded the idea of autonomous weapons "is a scary idea," he insisted, "that's the world we live in." He added, "There's no moral high ground to making a land mine that can't tell the difference between a school bus full of children and Russian armor."

Luckey says the Costa Mesa, California, company will top $6 billion in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40280155/lockheed-martin-boeing-and-northrop-grumman-rival-anduril-led-by-peter-thiels-venture-capital-raises">defense contracts</a> by year-end after beating legacy primes for Air Force and Special Operations deals. "We're gonna be making large numbers of cruise missiles, large numbers of fighter jets… day 100," he told CBS.
U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres has labeled fully autonomous lethal weapons "politically unacceptable and morally repugnant" and <a href="https://press.un.org/en/2025/sgsm22643.doc.htm">wants a treaty</a> banning them by 2026.

After Donald Trump signed an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45384935/trump-again-promises-lower-drug-prices-by-cutting-out-middlemen-like-unitedhealth-cvs-will-it-work-this-time">executive order</a> slashing drug prices last week, experts have highlighted how pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) could be hit the hardest despite pharmaceutical companies facing the potential of compressed margins amid poor pricing power.
What Happened: According to Thomas Shipp, the head of equity research at LPL Financial, the pressure that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45389750/trump-claims-drug-price-crackdown-could-slash-your-prescription-costs-by-59-but-will-big-pharma-fight-it-again">pharmaceutical manufacturers</a> are facing to lower prices domestically, &#8220;has the potential to compress margins by eroding pricing power and would provide a significant headwind to drug manufacturer share prices.&#8221;
However, he explains that the &#8220;middlemen&#8221; or PBMs that facilitate drug distribution and negotiate with pharmaceutical drug manufacturers to lower prescription costs have come under scrutiny for opaque pricing practices, like retaining rebates from drug manufacturers and "spread pricing."
&#8220;PBMs pay pharmacies less than what they charge health plan participants for drugs,&#8221; he said.
Another April 15 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44866755/mark-cuban-says-this-trump-healthcare-order-could-save-hundreds-of-billions">executive order</a> signed by Trump called for increased transparency into PBM fees and requested that the role of these middlemen be reevaluated.
CVS Caremark, owned by CVS Health Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>), Express Scripts, owned by Cigna Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CI#NYSE">CI</a>), and OptumRx, owned by UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>), are the biggest PBM companies.
Shipp also underscored that PBM savings are expected, but direct price controls pose a longer-term risk for U.S.-heavy drugmakers. Transparency will reveal if PBM margin erosion can prevent deeper manufacturer cuts, he highlights.
&#8220;While many questions remain about how these executive orders will be implemented, after the initial news flow is digested, the net effect appears less detrimental to pharmaceutical drug manufacturers than to PBMs,&#8221; said Shipp.
&#8220;That said, reworking the way Americans buy their medicine is going to take a long time. Along the way, efforts to support direct-to-consumer sales will support both the manufacturers leading the charge and those they partner with for distribution,&#8221; he added.

Why It Matters: Meanwhile, the billionaire investor and Shark Tank fame, Mark Cuban, called PBMs a &#8220;racket&#8221; in an X post by explaining that they <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44674382/mark-cuban-says-big-insurance-companies-and-pbms-control-healthcare-costs-everyone-has-to-kiss-their-a-and-accept-the-complications">negotiate rebates and not prices</a>.
&#8220;They negotiate rebates. Not prices. In fact, the big PBMs control more than 95pct of the rebate negotiations. Big brand Pharma companies can&#8217;t negotiate with anyone else. IMO, it&#8217;s a racket,&#8221; he said.
While the April 15 order calls for transparency in pricing, Cuban highlights that 30% of the $4.9 trillion in healthcare spending is attributed to the overhead insurance companies and pricing distortions big PBMs create.

Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>), and Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., better known as Foxconn, announced on Sunday a partnership to build an advanced artificial intelligence supercomputer in Taiwan.
What Happened: The collaboration includes Foxconn&#8217;s subsidiary Big Innovation Co. delivering a supercomputer equipped with 10,000 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, representing one of Asia&#8217;s most powerful AI computing infrastructures to date.
&#8220;AI has ignited a new industrial revolution — science and industry will be transformed,&#8221; said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, at the COMPUTEX technology conference.
The Taiwan National Science and Technology Council will invest in the supercomputer to provide AI cloud computing resources across Taiwan&#8217;s technology ecosystem. Officials aim to create &#8220;an AI-focused industrial ecosystem in southern Taiwan,&#8221; according to Minister Wu Cheng-Wen.
TSMC, the world&#8217;s largest contract chipmaker, plans to utilize the system to accelerate semiconductor research and development. &#8220;By harnessing advanced AI infrastructure, we empower our researchers to accelerate breakthroughs in semiconductor technology,&#8221; said C.C. Wei, chairman and CEO of TSMC.

Why It Matters: The system will feature NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra systems, including the NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 rack-scale solution with specialized networking technologies. Big Innovation Cloud will also participate in the NVIDIA DGX Cloud Lepton marketplace, providing enterprises and research institutions access to advanced GPU resources.
This partnership expands on Nvidia&#8217;s recent global AI initiatives, including planned investments of $500 billion in U.S. AI infrastructure.

S&P 500 Gains For Fifth Session: Investor Sentiment Improves, Fear Index Remains In 'Greed' Zone

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is reportedly accepting trade-ins for the Cybertruck, a year after Elon Musk&#8217;s company launched the pickup truck.
What Happened: Tesla is offering owners of the Cybertruck Foundation Series a chance to trade in their vehicle for an upgrade, Electrek reported <a href="https://electrek.co/2025/05/18/tesla-starts-accepting-cybertruck-trade-ins-confirms-insane-depreciation/">on</a> Sunday.
The report outlines that Tesla was offering $65,400 for an All-wheel-drive 2024 Cybertruck with 6,211 miles on the odometer. The AWD trim of the Cybertruck retailed for over $100,000 at launch.
The trade-in value offered by Tesla represents more than 34% decline in value in a year, much higher than the 20% depreciation generally expected for pickup trucks during the same period, the report suggests.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as the EV giant is experiencing difficulties in getting Cybertruck units off the dealership lots, with the brand reportedly sitting on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45216453/tesla-has-over-10000-units-of-unsold-cybertrucks-in-its-us-inventory-amid-poor-sales-report">over 10,000 unsold units</a> of the pickup truck.
This is despite offering <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44755221/tesla-unveils-new-cybertruck-long-range-trim-with-a-362-mile-range-and-reduced-features">a cheaper trim level </a>of the Cybertruck with increased range, but at the cost of some hauling and towing capacity as well as feature omissions.
Musk's company has also tried to make the Cybertruck more appealing to the conventional pickup truck buyer by pivoting the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44919745/tesla-shifts-cybertruck-marketing-strategy-to-appeal-to-traditional-pick-up-truck-customers-amid-poor-sales">product's marketing strategy</a> to position it as a lifestyle vehicle for the "working man."

Tesla Is Accepting Trade-Ins For 2024 Cybertruck Amid Plummeting Sales: Report

Billionaire hedge-fund veteran Stanley Druckenmiller says the mark of every "great investor" is the willingness to make one outsized, high-conviction bet and then guard it like a hawk.
What Happened: "The mistake I'd say 98 percent of money managers and individuals make is they feel like they've got to be playing with a bunch of stuff," Druckenmiller <a href="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/6750faf5c6091bc898da154ff/files/Druck.pdf?utm_source=PAID+The+Idea+Farm&amp;utm_campaign=def2702a2a-First_Email8_14_2012&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_ac58d173d8-def2702a2a-411831749">told</a> members of Palm Beach's Lost Tree Club in 2015. "If you really see it, put all your eggs in one basket and watch the basket very carefully," he added, invoking a well-known quote.
In a 2021 Q&amp;A <a href="https://thehustle.co/stanley-druckenmiller-q-and-a-trung-phanin">with</a> The Hustle, he doubled down: "When I've looked at all the investors (that) have very large reputations—Warren Buffett, Carl Icahn, George Soros — they all only have one thing in common… make large concentrated bets where they have a lot of conviction."

"In my thinking, [concentrating your bets] decreases your overall risk because… If you have a big, massive position, it has your attention," Druckenmiller told The Hustle, closing with, "My favorite quote of all time is maybe Mark Twain: ‘Put all your eggs in one basket and watch the basket carefully.' I tend to think that's what great investors do."
Backing It Up: Druckenmiller pointed to Icahn's move to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/14/01/4246808/carl-icahn-buys-more-apple-shares-after-saying-he-would-be-better-off-if-apple-di">plow about $3 billion</a> into Apple a decade ago, calling it textbook conviction investing. He also recalled Soros urging him to short 200 percent of the Quantum Fund against the pound on Black Wednesday, a wager that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/03/37534248/a-british-pounding-how-george-soros-made-over-1-billion-betting-against-the-bank-of-england">pocketed $1 billion</a> in a day.
The veteran speaks from experience. His Duquesne Family Office has averaged <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38686502/hedge-fund-legend-druckenmiller-shares-his-top-secrets-for-30-returns">30 percent annual returns</a> and helped build a fortune near $10 billion, according to Benzinga tallies. His focus also echoes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/01/36800431/warren-buffetts-first-failed-business-venture-cost-him-20-of-his-net-worth-now-he-says-risk-comes-fr">Buffett's warning</a> that "risk comes from not knowing what you're doing," a line Buffett often deploys to defend his own concentrated portfolio.

Stanley Druckenmiller's Contrarian Investment Philosophy Helped Make Him A Billionaire: 'Put All Your Eggs In One Basket…'

President Donald Trump initiated separate phone calls Monday with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a bid to broker a ceasefire in the Ukraine war.
What Happened: Trump expressed hopes for a &#8220;productive day&#8221; in a weekend social media post, indicating his first call would be with Putin at 10 a.m. Monday to discuss ending what he termed the &#8220;bloodbath&#8221; of a war that &#8220;should have never happened,&#8221; <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-putin-zelenskyy-russia-ukraine-war-ceasefire-3ec4144fecac5d77c8bb33cc4d7018ce">according</a> to the Associated Press. 
The calls represent a crucial test of Trump&#8217;s dealmaking reputation after claiming he could quickly resolve the conflict that began with Russia&#8217;s invasion in February 2022.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned Sunday on NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; that failure by Putin to negotiate &#8220;in good faith&#8221; could trigger additional sanctions against Russia. Bessent suggested former President Joe Biden-era sanctions were insufficient because they preserved Russia&#8217;s oil revenues to prevent U.S. price increases.
The diplomatic push comes amid escalating violence, with the Kremlin launching its largest drone barrage against Ukraine since the invasion began — 273 exploding drones and decoys targeting Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk regions.
Zelenskyy, who met with Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Rome on Sunday, has insisted on an &#8220;unconditional ceasefire&#8221; before any negotiations. Putin recently rejected Zelenskyy&#8217;s offer to meet in Turkey, though both countries committed to exchanging 1,000 prisoners of war each.

Why It Matters: Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink, who resigned last month, expressed concern about Trump&#8217;s approach, stating, &#8220;Peace at any price is not peace at all. It&#8217;s appeasement.&#8221;
The outcome of these diplomatic efforts could significantly impact market stability, particularly if new sanctions target Russia&#8217;s energy sector, potentially disrupting global oil supplies and prices.
Meanwhile, Ukraine and the U.S. have revived discussions on a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/44889511/trump-may-take-a-pass-on-russia-ukraine-peace-talks-without-progress">joint investment fund for post-war reconstruction</a>, signaling potential future opportunities for investors in Ukrainian energy infrastructure and mineral resources.
