NEW YORK, NY / / August 6, 2025 / Direxion, a leading provider of ETFs for tactical traders, and a pioneer in Single Stock Daily Leveraged & Inverse ETFs, today launched four new funds offering amplified, or inverse, exposure to two high-profile names: Shopify Inc. (SHOP) and Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT). These ETFs provide traders with the tools to express short-term views on both e-commerce momentum and global defense trends.

"These two companies sit on opposite ends of the tactical spectrum - Shopify represents high-growth, high-volatility e-commerce exposure, while Lockheed Martin is a defense sector anchor tied to long-term government spending and global events," said Mo Sparks, Chief Product Officer at Direxion. "Whether traders are reacting to earnings, geopolitical headlines, or sector rotations, these new ETFs are the first to offer a powerful way to express conviction toward each with tactical precision."
Designed for active traders, Direxion's pairs of Single Stock Leveraged & Inverse ETFs are built for short-term trading - not long-term investing. These ground-breaking trading tools are intended for experienced traders with a high risk tolerance. Unlike traditional ETFs, or even other leveraged and/or inverse ETFs, these products track the price of a single stock rather than an index, offering no diversification benefits.
All Direxion Leveraged and Inverse ETFs are intended only for investors with an in-depth understanding of the risks associated with seeking leveraged investment results, and who plan to actively monitor and manage their positions. There is no guarantee these ETFs will meet their objective. Please visit the Direxion Leveraged and Inverse ETF Education Center, where you will find educational brochures, videos, and a self-paced online course to help you understand if Leveraged and Inverse ETFs - including Single Stock Daily LETFs - are right for you.

Investing in the funds involves a high degree of risk. Unlike traditional ETFs, or even other leveraged and/or inverse ETFs, these leveraged and/or inverse single-stock ETFs track the price of a single stock rather than an index, eliminating the benefits of diversification. Leveraged and inverse ETFs pursue daily leveraged investment objectives, which means they are riskier than alternatives which do not use leverage. They seek daily goals and should not be expected to track the underlying stock's performance over periods longer than one day. They are not suitable for all investors and should be utilized only by investors who understand leverage risk and who actively manage their investments. The Funds will lose money if the underlying stock's performance is flat, and it is possible that the Bull Fund will lose money even if the underlying stock's performance increases, and the Bear Fund will lose money even if the underlying stock's performance decreases, over a period longer than a single day. Investing in the Funds is not equivalent to investing directly in SHOP or LMT.
Direxion Shares Risks - An investment in a Fund involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Each Fund is non-diversified and includes risks associated with a Fund concentrating its investments in a particular security, industry, sector, or geographic region which can result in increased volatility. A Fund's investments in derivatives such as futures contracts and swaps may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other investments, including imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund's other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility and lack of availability. As a result, the value of an investment in a Fund may change quickly and without warning.
Leverage Risk - The Bull Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. A total loss may occur in a single day. Leverage will also have the effect of magnifying any differences in the Fund's correlation with SHOP or LMT and may increase the volatility of the Bull Fund.
Daily Correlation Risk - A number of factors may affect the Bull Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with SHOP or LMT and therefore achieve its daily leveraged investment objective. The Bull Fund's exposure to SHOP or LMT is impacted by SHOP or LMT's movement. Because of this, it is unlikely that the Bull Fund will be perfectly exposed to SHOP or LMT at the end of each day. The possibility of the Bull Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to SHOP or LMT increases on days when SHOP or LMT is volatile near the close of the trading day.
Daily Inverse Correlation Risk - A number of factors may affect the Bear Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with SHOP or LMT and therefore achieve its daily inverse investment objective. The Bear Fund's exposure to SHOP or LMT is impacted by SHOP or LMT's movement. Because of this, it is unlikely that the Bear Fund will be perfectly exposed to SHOP or LMT at the end of each day. The possibility of the Bear Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to SHOP or LMT increases on days when SHOP or LMT is volatile near the close of the trading day.
Shopify, Inc. Investing Risk - SHOP faces risks associated with: growth may be difficult to sustain; highly competitive business structure; data breach and privacy concerns; impact of the global economic conditions may adversely affect business operations; reliance on limited number of suppliers for payment processing; use of artificial intelligence may present additional risks; among other risks.
Lockhead Martin Corporation Investing Risk - LMT faces risks associated with: dependance on U.S. Government contracts; the F-35 program which is approximately 26% of the company's net sales is reliant on continued government funding; extensive procurement laws and regulations; variability in current contracts and programs as well as performance and ability to control costs; more audits due to government contracts; heavy dependance on suppliers and subcontractors; reliant on development of new technology; public health events; international sales pose different economic, regulatory and competitive risks; among other risks.
Information Technology Sector Risk - The value of stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation, and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from competitors with lower production costs.
Industrials Sector Risk - Stock prices of issuers in the industrials sector are affected by supply and demand both for their specific product or service and for industrials sector products in general.
Aerospace and Defense Industry Risk - The aerospace and defense industry can be significantly affected by government regulation and spending policies because companies involved in this industry rely, to a significant extent, on government demand for their products and services.
Additional risks of each Fund include Effects of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk, Derivatives Risk, Counterparty Risk, Rebalancing Risk, Intra-Day Investment Risk, Industry Concentration Risk, Market Risk, Indirect Investment Risk, and Cash Transaction Risk. Additionally, for the Direxion Daily SHOP Bear 1X ETF and Direxion Daily LMT Bear 1X ETF, Shorting or Inverse Risk. Please see the summary and full prospectuses for a more complete description of these and other risks of a Fund.

New York City to Close Last Major Hotel Housing Migrants
The last major hotel housing migrants in New York City, the Row NYC in Times Square, will stop operating as a shelter in the coming months, Mayor Eric Adams announced. The mayor said on Saturday that the city would not renew its lease with the Row when it expires in April, citing a continued decline in the number of migrants arriving in the city, as border crossings have plummeted to record lows. The families living at the Row will be transferred to other facilities in the city's traditional homeless shelter system. Those shelters have recently absorbed thousands of homeless migrants as the city has continued to close shelters that once exclusively housed migrants, winding down its emergency response to the migrant crisis. The Row, a four-star hotel on Eighth Avenue in the heart of Manhattan's theater district, became the first and largest hotel converted into a shelter as an influx of tens of thousands of migrants arriving in buses from the southern border overwhelmed city resources three years ago. The city entered into a $40 million contract with the hotel in October 2022 to house migrants in its 1,300 rooms, paying $190 a night per room. (Rooms reportedly ranged from $300 to $500 a night the month before the hotel opened as a shelter.) The deal became a lifeline for the hotel, which was struggling financially and had been used to house homeless people during the pandemic under Mayor Bill de Blasio. It is unclear if its owners, Rockpoint Group and Highgate, will reopen the hotel to tourists after the lease ends next year. In May, the city's tourism agency lowered its projection of foreign tourists to the city amid President Trump's trade war, but the city's main attractions and hotels have shown signs of resilience this summer, with hotel occupancy rates at robust highs.

IRS considers eliminating ability to file your taxes in language other than English
The Trump administration is reportedly considering eliminating language services at the Internal Revenue Service, a move that would make it significantly more difficult for non-English speaking individuals to file their taxes. The report comes from two individuals familiar with the plans who spoke to The Washington Post. The individuals said that the IRS is currently considering how it could comply with President Donald Trump's executive order declaring English the U.S.'s official language. The validity of that order has been questioned by some legal scholars. 'Establishing English as the official language will not only streamline communication but also reinforce shared national values, and create a more cohesive and efficient society,' Trump's order says. On July 14, Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a memo to federal agencies directing them on how to implement Trump's executive order. The memo requires officials to produce department-wide plans to "phase out unnecessary multilingual offerings" and to "consider redirecting these funds towards research and programs that would expedite English-language acquisition and increase English-language proficiency and assimilation." 'A shared language binds Americans together, transcending different backgrounds to create a common foundation for public discourse, government operations, and civic life, while leaving ample room for the vibrant linguistic diversity that thrives in private and community spheres,' Bondi wrote in the memo. Despite Trump's executive order, the U.S. has no standing law establishing English as the national language. Responding to Bondi's memo, the U.S. Treasury Department — which oversees the IRS — wrote in email responses on Sunday that the IRS would have to reevaluate its "commitment to assist non-English speaking taxpayers understand their tax obligations." The agency currently has a policy in place requiring it to serve "those who lack a full command of the English language." The Treasury also noted it would have to decide if it would keep all of its translations for more than 100 financial forms in Spanish and other languages, as well as free phone and in-person translation services. The IRS also maintains a multilingual website and Spanish-language social media accounts and programs. The move comes at a time when some non-English speaking taxpayers are fearful that the IRS may cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement in its ongoing efforts to find undocumented immigrants and deport them. That fear has reportedly led to severe drops in tax compliance among immigrant communities in some parts of the country. The IRS has already renewed its contract for phone interpreter services, according to two people familiar with the issue who spoke to The Washington Post. That contract was deemed necessary by senior IRS and Treasury Department officials after DOGE demanded it review all of its contacts. The interpreter service contract was only extended for a few months and will expire before the end of the year.
