“It’s an impressive company in absolute dollar terms, not just percentage: AWS ended 2020 with $ 13 billion in operating revenue, which helped Amazon report total net income of $ 21 billion for the year, ”the report adds. “No wonder Amazon chose AWS chief Andy Jassy for 15 years as CEO when Jeff Bezos stepped down earlier this year.”

WEBL seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 300% of the daily performance of the Dow Jones Internet Composite Index.

WEBL is up 43% while Amazon stock is up 7% for the year. When you juxtapose the two lines in the same chart, the movements of the two appear similar.

Looking for a bigger tech game?

Traders looking for something broader as opposed to a niche web game could use the Direxion Daily Technology Bull 3X ETF (TECL). Being bullish on technology hasn’t hurt TECL traders this year as the fund is up 65%.

With its triple leverage like WEBL, TECL is definitely not for the faint of heart. The fund seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, of 300% of the daily performance of the Technology Select Sector index.

The fund, which has grown by more than 100% in the past 12 months, invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in financial instruments, such as swap agreements and index securities, ETFs that track the index, and other financial instruments that provide daily leveraged exposure to the index or ETFs that track the index. The index includes national companies in the technology sector.

“With VR training, you can train daily, and in as little as five to ten minutes a day, you can really create well-trained officers with good instincts and good muscle memory,” Chief Acevedo said during the discussion. “You’ll see, virtual reality is going to end up taking up most of the bandwidth in terms of training time spent. We’re going to be able to give immediate feedback, and in the VR environment, you’re going to be able to see everything you’ve done – what you’ve done wrong, what you’ve done the right way, what you can do better – to debrief and learn almost in real time. It’s something that’s out there, and I think in the next 12 to 36 months it’s going to become mainstream, and I’m hoping here in Miami PD that we’re going to be the front-end of this wave, this revolution.
