Leveraged stock and index ETFs aren’t investments, they’re directional gambles designed to make you rich or wipe you out in record time.
I genuinely feel for investors like Edward. It is remarkably easy to get swept up in the hype on X or fall for the YouTube “yahoos” as I like to call them who are selling clicks and views.
They spin sensational stories about why you need to go “all in” so you can drive a Lamborghini just like them. Typically, they cherry-pick facts and exaggerate best-case scenarios while completely glossing over the risks and what happens when things go south.
Leveraged products aren’t wise long-term investments; they are directional gambles that can make you rich or wipe you out in record time.
At Hikmah Capital, we take the exact opposite approach. Whether we are evaluating public equities or venture deals, our process is grounded in modeling base, best, and worst-case projections for revenue and earnings.
We identify the core drivers of both success and failure, and we assign realistic probabilities to each outcome. Most importantly, we continuously update those probabilities as new data comes in from the company, the broader industry, and the macroeconomic environment.
Lately, a lot of people have been asking me about Nvidia: Is it time to buy?
My answer, as usual, is that it depends. Personally, I haven’t bought back in yet and thankfully, I sold out at a much higher level than where the shares are trading right now.
Could the stock drop further from here? Absolutely. Could it rally 20%? Just as easily. In the stock market, the only certainty is uncertainty.
Follow the Hikmah Capital Corp. page, as over the next few days, we’ll be sharing our full breakdown on Nvidia to help you make a more informed, evidence-based decision.
Don’t forget, “There are three ways a smart person can go broke: liquor, ladies, and leverage.” as Charlie Munger famously said. No offence ladies, lol.
