AVOID Felix & Friends (Goat Academy) Conviction 4/5 Analysis quality 80 now
The YouTuber strongly advises avoiding DFEN, a 3x leveraged defense ETF, for long-term investing. He explains that despite the sector being up, DFEN is down due to 'path decay,' a characteristic of leveraged ETFs that reset daily, causing losses over time even if the underlying trend is positive. He states these are designed for short-term traders, not buy-and-hold investors.
