In this episode, we dive into the world of leveraged ETFs, exploring how they amplify exposure to assets through debt and derivatives. From the explosive growth in leveraged ETF inflows to the risks of daily rebalancing and long-term viability, we break down what investors need to know before jumping into these high-risk, high-reward products.
Braden also takes a dive into Adobe, one of the most underappreciated giants in the tech world. Despite looming threats from generative AI and evolving competition from Figma and Canva, Adobe remains a very profitable business trading at cheaper valuation than other large tech stocks. The question with Adobe is simple. Is this growth sustainable for the long term?
