I bought the Poland ETF EPOL 3 times last year and again last week. It's one of my top pics. The only thing I bought on the current dip was RMBY but that is an easy trade if you turn around and sell it for a 15 pct gain. EUAD is a nice ETF as well but not buying more. I want to buy AMZN and the SKYY ETF after foolishly selling during the April 2025 dip.
I like SOXQ better than SOXX. SOXQ has performed better, has a higher dividend yield, and has a lowest fee of any semiconductor ETF. SMH performs even better for semiconductors, but it has way more Nvidia concentration. Given I already have plenty of Nvidia in my portfolio, I passed on this one. I don’t see a perfect match for SKYY, but I can tell you about 77% of the holdings are in FTEC and VGT which are both very popular. I also had a negative experience First Trust ETFs twice now, nothing nefarious but lousy fund management, so I avoid them now.
My questions are generally: Do I want to buy more of this now? Would I buy more if it dropped a lot? Would I rather own this instead of VTI? If the answer is no I generally sell. Just put in sell orders on long term positions of: HD MCD SKYY All were up but didn’t beat VTI in the time I owned them.
I would divide among ETFs of different types to be exposed to the Tech Upside and track the S&P. 25% - SMH/SMHX - here's your NVIDIA, Broadcomm, etc. 25% - SKYY, FDN or similar - here's your tech and exposure to the big AI gains with more risk. 25% - VOO, VYM something with a larger # of holdings to help with diversification and other companies outside of Tech. VYM or similar will give ya some dividends too.
no worries. chatgpt answered with some knowledge and not grammar comment. i will just buy more SKYY share and bet on AI
I suspect Bitcoin is an indicator of the euphoria factor. A lot of my tech stuff has doubled or more than doubled in the past 12 months after sharp declines in 22-23.SKYY ETF is a great example. I plan to do some selling (and buying SGOV?) as we move closer to the inauguration, but OPs idea of selling everything is not for me. Buffet is also selling a lot now, holding Treasuries. If I am wrong I will have to buy back at higher prices later.
I’d like to pick up some data center, cybersecurity and cloud compute myself. SKYY, CIBR, DCTR.
[https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/SKYY/holdings/](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/SKYY/holdings/) These are the SKYY holdings btw
Appreciate it, been a decade of a lot of work but some really awesome accomplishments. As for I vesting, I'm not familiar with SKYY. The major players/blue chips are Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud platform, and I don't really see anyone disrupting that any time soon. They're just massive even without their cloud offerings but I'm not knowledgeable about any other competitors.
Nice work. Do you foresee cloud computing as a dope future investment? I was looking at the etf SKYY.
Investment pros love to recommend stocks with great track records, makes them look smart. Start with ETFs, play around with individual shares after a few years in the game. IXC SOCL SKYY XLF XLU VOO REGL
>XLV i use IXJ but like your pick so let me add SKYY and one extra bonus PPA
Cloud is a scam....cloud provider are making big buck from it. I use SKYY ETF to ride it. I really don t know everybody is going to cloud. It only make sense if you have burst workload but not if you have regular traffic....anyway if you want cloud exposure there are several ETF. SKYY is cloud and SAAS in general (look in holdings)
What are your thoughts on IHAK vs BUG vs SKYY (not strictly cyber security)?
What do yall think of this asset allocation. I am 24 btw, and this is a small secondary brokerage that I take a bit more risk in and have some fun with. My main one has 24k in a 90/10 split of VTI/VXUS. 3k total 18% Bitcoin 7% Ethereum 25% VUG 20% VBK 10% SKYY 10% VHT 10% FIW Anything you would change, add, or take out? Thanks!
Rate my portfolio: Background: I am 24, investing for the long term >20 years, 72% savings rate currently, make $110k renting in LCOL. No debt. I am just answering the questions above, I can answer anything I missed. I have a company 403b - at 30k, holding <25 most aggressive 90% stock/10% bond Roth IRA - at 7k, holding 90% VTI, 10% VXUS Fidelity brokerage - at 23k, holding 90% VTI, 10% VXUS Robinhood brokerage - at 3k, holding 25% VUG, 25% VBK, 10% SKYY, 10% VHT, 10% FIW, 20% ethereum/bitcoin CD ladder 5% - 8.5k Emergency HYSA 4.25% - 5k Anything you would change? Different ETF allocation? No CD ladder? I have been setting this up since I graduated college 1.5 years ago, I would just like some feedback now on this particular setup.
I like SKYY considering cloud is gonna up in future
Here are some ETFs that have a heavy weighting for SaaS software and cloud software: 1. iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV): This ETF tracks the performance of software companies and has a significant portion of its portfolio invested in SaaS and cloud software companies. 2. First Trust Cloud Computing ETF (SKYY): This ETF tracks the performance of companies involved in cloud computing technology and has a significant portion of its portfolio invested in SaaS software and cloud software companies. 3. Global X Cloud Computing ETF (CLOU): This ETF invests in companies that provide cloud computing solutions, including SaaS and cloud software companies. 4. WisdomTree Cloud Computing Fund (WCLD): This ETF invests in cloud computing companies, including SaaS software and cloud software companies. 5. Invesco Dynamic Software ETF (PSJ): This ETF invests in software companies and has a significant portion of its portfolio invested in SaaS software and cloud software companies. It's important to note that ETF holdings and weightings can change over time, so it's always a good idea to review the most current information before making investment decisions.
You should consider at least putting some of your portfolio into industries rather than specific (sometime very small) companies where the industry could very well thrive while the specific company you pick might fail. CIBR is a cybersecurity ETF currently doing better than CRWD and the other main devoted cybersecurity companies because it also holds older, more diverse companies that are partly in the field too. SKYY is a cloud computing ETF. At the least, I'd allocate 5% to broader tech QQQ (or VOO) so that if your companies underperform that you have to regularly face that you are choosing this path.
Personally, I’m dollar cost averaging every month into SKYY(ETF), $U, $EMAN, $KOPN, $META, $QCOM, and $AMD right now. Some of them are smaller cap plays but are set to explode in my opinion, and are all discounted at the moment. Very few people are bullish on AR and VR in the market, and they’re going to miss out on the next iPhone moment. If you want to get a glimpse of the future watch Meta’s connect conference coming up on October 11, the Quest Pro is going to blow people’s minds (even though we’re still a few years away from mass adoption).
The write-off I got for losing $5k in SKYY calls last year
Bitcoin is riskier than "stocks" in general. It is pretty well correlated with tech stocks, specifically things like cloud computing (SKYY First Trust Cloud Computing ETF down 32.1% YTD), fintech (FINX Global X FinTech ETF down 37.5% YTD), and AI (THNQ ROBO Global Artificial Intelligence ETF down 33.1% YTD).
I was just looking at that! I didn't know it was so heavily weighted in Apple and Microsoft, but at least it has a relatively low expense ratio. I don't really like that SKYY's is 0.6% 😔 but I do like the holdings. VUG looks really good too, I'll keep that one in mind. Thanks!
Yeah it's a little strange at OP's age haha. I'm surprised he didn't just like Google this really quickly when he set up his Roth IRA account. Before I set up my account, I was soo scared and new to everything so I watched hours of YouTube videos and Googled every question I could. Just a quick 2 second google search shows that 30% in bonds at age 29 isn't recommended by the majority of search results. But hey now he knows! :D Nice allocations! My Roth is boring, but my brokerage is kind of similar to what you have too! 10% crypto, 70% VOO and then the rest is SKYY and SCHD.
Is it too redundant to have both VOO and SKYY?
Taxable brokerage: 70% VOO 10% VXUS 10% SCHD 10% SKYY ROTH IRA: 100% VTSAX 401k: 10% contribution Mid 20s and trying to predict anything gives me the worst anxiety, so I just want to set it and forget it! Thoughts?
I'd say that's not a bad mix for an inflationary environment. I like these as well: BAWAX,NEP,NTSX,PSLDX,QQQX,RWGV,SKYY,VGT
Never too late to start investing.. Look into inversely related indexes and long investmens like IBM PG DIS (SKYY CLOU XTN) Cloud computing EV tech and AI/semiconductors Go LONG play SDOW, Bear 3x etfs short
Apple stonks says SKYY is uppy but Schwab says it’s downy. I’m going back to RH
Be mindful of the expense ratios. You can get this FANG stocks basket in an ETF yourself without a broker. For example, check out SKYY, XNTK, and VOOG.
SKYY under 100 guess it’s rice and beans until 2023
The premarket tech dip is fake and gay SKYY 115c 1/21
SKYY down 15% from ATH on decent earnings but weak guidance. If I had a penny on the sidelines I’d be buying more
what would you recommend for a young investor? I started 2 months ago and my portfolio is VGRO and TEC only But by reading reddit people seem to say that vgro is bad because of the 20% bonds for young investors since time if my my favor. Should I invest in APPL? googl? SKYY? or other ETFS? What % should be stocks and ETFS in my portfolio?
Fucking salesforce blue balling my SKYY calls. Just say you plan on making a shit ton of money next quarter it’s not hard
Cloud computing calls. Covid or no covid. Cloud computing calls. Front end and back end. SKYY and CLOU. This is the way
SKYY limit order missed by .05 and it’s up 4% premarket REEEEEEE
I too joined investing after the GME frenzy. I suggest going into safer investments like ETFs. Partly because I don't really understand how options and puts work plus I'm a lot more risk adverse. I found ETFs like VWO or VOO to be easy exposure to the market. You can then go for thematic ETFs if that's your interest (I went SKYY for cloud computing and Gold minishares) My "gambling" is me putting monthly RSPs into an IShares Japan ETF because Nintendo is in it and I like it a lot (I can't buy Nintendo stock so easily). I suggest figuring out what your actual risk profile is and how much money you can put in per month, then see what your real investing options are. Good thing about ETFs is even small monthly contributions can add up a lot over time.
I’m numb. SKYY calls feels like a boomer investment
Could do something like SKYY for a general cloud ETF.
> The company sells networking equipment for telecom and datacom applications. FTNT is a holding of the First Trust Cloud Computing ETF (SKYY). SKYY has been in a downtrend since late February 2018, as shown below:
SKYY has made me a lot of money over the past 6 years.
Sure. Just be mindful that they give ETFs silly names like SKYY is called "on cloud nine"... I don't know why they won't show the real name in the main UI, but the actual ticker is shown in the overview tab. Just a heads up, if you're seeing "strange" investments.
4 year return will definitely be wild.. I bought SKYY CLOU TQQQ & PENN along 4 companies from every SPY sector
What’s wrong with being a Boglehead? I wouldn’t buy VT, but VOO, FTEC, SKYY, QQQM and VGT are pretty solid holds. ETFs do help to protect against earnings season profit taking as well. Imagine you buying ZM at the top then experiencing the 12% dump post earnings for example.
Hi all, Im a young developer with a steady income and low costs of living (not US), and I’m currently investing into some etf’s (VTI, SKYY, VXUS), but I want to try and be a bit riskier and wanted to ask for some suggestions on what to invest in. Thanks for anyone reading and would be really glad for any advice!
Those triple leveraged ETFs - oof. Have to watch them closely as any half meaningful correction and you’re wiped out. Why not instead focus on ETFs that are focused on areas you see meaningful growth - ARK is looking at disruptive companies in a broad range of industries. If you like their philosophy they do a great job managing - SCHG, similar to Nasdaq but skew a bit heavier on the bigger names - SKYY, gives me some exposure to smaller companies in the cloud computing industry which I’m familiar with - pick 1-3 individual companies you enjoy tracking and have confidence in
I am in college so I want some low maintenance investments - mainly looking at etfs and index funds. This is my first draft of a portfolio - First time investing so all of these will be purchased together: Vangaurd Total Stock Market ETF - VTI - 22.4% Vanguard S&P 500 ETF - VOO - 26.5% First Trust Cloud Computing ETF - SKYY - 14% iShares U.S. Healthcare ETF - IYH - 18.8% Berkshire Hathaway Inc B - BRK.B - 18.3% ​ If you have any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated
Add a solid base fund, like VTI. Consider supplementing with some thematic ETFs. Most of those companies would be covered in ARKK. So you could do... VTI / SKYY / PHO / ARKK / MSOS / ICLN. These don't have to be mutually exclusive to other holdings, but understand how much exposure to a certain company / sector your are getting. Don't be afraid to put some % into more risky investments, like crypto.
My biggest position is a total market index fund, and then I do thematic/industry ETFs on top of that. Something like VGT would end up overweighting a lot of things unintentionally. Then theres the dividend-focused etfs which also dont help. Then after removing the low-volume or small-name fund managers, pretty much all that was left was SKYY, which I also decided against. Ultimately i did just buy the stock. But this whole process of elimination is why i think it was less favored among retail investors.
Only one i saw that was halfway decent and had a significant Oracle weight was SKYY. If you know of a better one, do let me know
The post: ETFs, especially for a specific sector, for a 2-5 year timeline? The replies: VTI forever Can we please have *any* discussion in this sub that doesn't immediately lead to VTI? As for my response, I agree with others on TAN/ICLN for renewables and SMH for semiconductors. SKYY for cloud computing as well.
I’ve recently started working after college and can now invest a ton more money than I was before. Right now I’m 1/3 Microsoft 1/3 VOO and the final 1/3 is split up between TQQQ, SKYY, IBUY, and PBW. My first question is, does this seem like a reasonable investing strategy, or do I need to diversify more/ invest in higher risk investments? My second question is, what is something really safe I could invest a larger sum of money I am coming into this week?
Open a Stash account, find a few good ETFS like VOO, VTI, QQQ, SKYY set it to auto stash $300 across whatever investments you choose and let it ride.
I didn’t know about NET. I like the potential for anything with cloud, but my concern is that AWS will dominate cloud base technology. I bought 10 shares for CRWD last Friday as well, and got in on SKYY. My reasoning with CPNG is that they have their own warehouses and logistics is really important even if South Korea is a small market. I had read that SE just had one video game, but when I go back and look at their history, overall it leans up like it should. Congrats on hitting $80. I’ve mentioned buying stocks like Tesla before 3+ years ago but never did it. I know it’s really hard to hit oil, and I can’t remember the other picks i had thought of, but overall- as long as I get a better return than the bank I’ll have enough to retire in a third world country somewhere in 20 years. 👍😀
About as drunk as I ever got: Was already a bit drunk. Almost everything was gone at this apartment. I grabbed what I thought was a Skyy Blue. Meh. Was done with like half of it and people are looking at me like I'm a ghost. ED?? What are you drinking?? Sky Blue. ED THAT'S SKYY VODKA \*well then why did you ask if you already knew, I thought to myself I still don't know to this day how I got home. Had to get a ride back to get my car another day later.
I've been big on SKYY for the past few years. Looking at the returns you wouldn't even think it was an ETF
Anyone know of any ETFs that include holdings like CRWD while also having things like SNOW, NET, DBX, etc? Most of the thematic ETFs I've found contain one or the other, which makes sense (CLOU, BUG, SKYY, HACK, etc). I'm wondering if there's a "future computing" or something that would include a bit of both sectors. I've found VCLO, which seems perfect, but the volume is so low that it wouldn't be available on my platform (M1), nor would I really want something with such low volume (AVG Volume is about 5,200) I've checked etfdb's exposure tool, but couldn't find anything else (it occasionally is slightly outdated for wpaftively managed ETFs, btw) Any suggestions? Thanks!
I would like thoughts and advice on my portfolio, I have been investing for about a year or so. My holdings are split between stocks and ETF's Portfolio SKYY : 33.5% S&P 500: 15.9% FTSE 100: 3.1% Nasdaq : 3.0% VLRS : 8.5% Ryanair. : 7.5% Alibaba :25.2 % APPL. : 3.1%
I started with gme but late February moved on to other ways of losing money... PLTR, PSFE, TME, best plays have been SKYY and LB but they're boring lol
CLOU or SKYY. already have some WCLD. Thanks
Ugh u just reminded me of my SKYY bags
Would you rather have GOOGL or SKYY ETF shares? I am literally trying to figure out which one to get into.
[THE SKYY IS THE LIMIT NOWWWW](https://youtu.be/NTkQ5lG4Sv8)
Just got in on INSW SKYY and ICLN. Anybody else invested in those?
Just got in on INSW SKYY and ICLN. Anybody else invested in those?
I’d like two add a few players: Fintech —Pypl, V, MA, SQ Blockchain —BLOK etf Cloud Computing —SKYY etf. Best in class cloud computing etf imo.

I own SKYY and CLOU for cloud exposure.
any thoughts on SKYY instead of ARKK?
